The box office took in a total of $2905 in paid admissions for the high-school musical. Adult tickets cost $8 each, and student

tickets cost $3 each. If 560 people attended the show, how many were students? Let s = the number of students attending, and let a = the number of adults attending. Which two equations can be used to solve this problem? Select the two that apply.

There are no equations to choose from but it should look like the following.

a= # of adult tickets
s= # of student tickets

QUANTITY EQUATION
a + s= 560

COST EQUATION
$8a + $3s= $2905

***If you have to also solve for the number of adults and students, here are the steps.

STEP 1:
multiply quantity equation by -8

-8(a + s)= -8(560)
-8a - 8s= -4480

STEP 2:
add cost equation and step 1 equation

$8a + $3s= $2905
-8a - 8s= -4480
a term cancels out to zero
-5s= -1575
divide both sides by -5
s= 315 students

STEP 3:
substitute s=315 in quantity equation
a + s= 560
a + 315= 560
subtract 315 from both sides
a= 245 adults

ANSWER:
Quantity Equation
a + s= 560

Cost Equation
$8a + $3s= $2905

Hope this helps! :)

nicholas started a canned food drive at school. the equation representing this is y=235=15, where x is the number of days, and y
qwelly [4]

Answer:

195 cans will be left after 10 days

Sample Answer: I am given a number of cans, which is y, and I need to find the number of days, which is x. To do this, I would substitute 2600 for y, to get 2600 = 235x + 15. Solving for x, I would get x = 11. Thus, it would take 11 days to collect 2600 cans.

Kiley gathered the data in the table. She found the approximate line of best fit to be y = 1.6x – 4. A 2-column table with 5 row
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The residual value is -1.8 when x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following table

x     |    y

0    |   -3

2    |    -1

3    |    -1

5    |    5

6    |    6    

Residual value:

A residual value basically shows the position of a data point with respect to the line of best fit.

The residual value is calculated as,

Residual value = Observed value - Predicted value

Where observed values are already given in the question and the predicted values are calculated by using the equation of  line of best fit.

y = 1.6x - 4

When we substitute x = 3 in the above equation then we would get the predicted value.

y = 1.6x - 4 \\\\y = 1.6(3) - 4 \\\\y = 4.8 - 4 \\\\y = 0.8

So the predicted value is 0.8

From the given table, the observed value corresponding to x = 3 is -1

So the residual value is,

Residual value = Observed value - Predicted value

Residual value = -1 - 0.8

Residual value = -1.8

Therefore, the residual value is -1.8 when x = 3

Note: A residual value closer to 0 is desired which means that the regression line best fits the data.

OMG PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!!!!! A local charity sponsors a 5K race to raise money. It receives $55 per race entry and $10,000 in
Dominik [7]
Start with how much profit they are making off each race entry. People pay $55 to race, but $15 of that is expenses so they are only profiting $40 for each entry. Now write one side of the equality. They start with $10,000 in donations, and then have a $40 profit for each race entry. So 10,000+40x. X will represent the unknown number of race entries. What do we want that expression to be equal to? We want 10000+40x>55000. It can also be greater than or equal to, not just greater than. Solve for x. Subtract 10000 from each side resulting in 40x>45000. Divide each side by 40 to solve for x. X>1125. X needs to bbe greater than or equal to 1125. If there are 1125 race entries, the charity will profit exactly $55000, so the lowest number of race entries is 1125
