A soccer team sold raffle tickets to raise money for the upcoming season. They sold three different types of tickets: premium for $6, deluxe for $4, and regular for $2. The total number of tickets sold was 273, and the total amount of money from raffle tickets was $836. If 118 more regular tickets were sold than deluxe tickets, how many premium tickets were sold?

45 premium tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

p = premium

d = deluxe

r = regular

p+d+r = 273

6p+4d + 2r = 836

118+d = r

Replace r with 118+d

p+d+118+d = 273

p +2d = 273-118

p+2d = 155

6p+4d + 2(118+d) = 836

6p+4d + 236+2d = 836

6p +6d = 836-236

6p + 6d = 600

Divide by 6

p+d = 100

d = 100-p

Replace d in p +2d= 155

p +2(100-p) = 155

p+200-2p = 155

-p = 155-200

-p =-45

p =45

45 premium tickets were sold

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
