Mr. Irwin sold tickets to a basketball game last week. He sold adult tickets for $5 and student tickets for $3. He sold 86 tickets and made $366. Find the number of adult and student tickets sold.

if the total sale was $2846, it would make 400 adult ticket and 846 student ticket. if the collected ticket was 1247 it would make 400 adult ticket and 847 student ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
