The theater group sold adult and student tickets for the play. They sold a total of 560 tickets. Each adult ticket was $8 and each student ticket was $3.50. The group took in a total of $3166. How many of each type of ticket was sold for the play?

268 adult and 292 student tickets sold

Step-by-step explanation:

a = number  adult tickets sold

s =  number student tickets sold

a + s = 560

8a + 3.50s = 3166

a = 268 adult tickets

s = 292 student tickets

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
