A total of 564 tickets were sold for the school play. they were either adult tickets or student tickets. there were 64 more students tickets sold than adult tickets. how many adult tickets were sold?

Let Adult tickets be  a.

Student tickets were 64 more than adults

= a + 64 Total = 564

a + a + 64 = 564

2a + 64 = 564

2a = 500a =

500/2a = 250

Recall a represents adult tickets.

a = 251, Therefore 251 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of the first function is -3. (3/1)

the slope of the second function is 1. (13-10/6-3).

since |-3| is greater than |1|, the function with the steepest slope is the first.

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
