a movie theater charges $8 for adults and $5 for children. If there were 40 people altogether and theater collected $272

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

let's call the number of adults a and the number of children c.

so the total adults plus the total children equals 40 or a+c=40 or c=40-a

also we know that 8a+5c=272

substituting c's value in the 1st equation into the 2nd equation we get

8a+5(40-a)=272>lets distribute that left side>8a+200-5a=272

now let's combine like terms on either side of the equals sign.

3a=72 a=24

so we have highlight%2824-adults%29

and c=40-a(24)=highlight%2816-children%29

last one.

step-by-step explanation:

last one.

generally speaking, the others follow some sort of pattern that correlates to either linear (looks like a straight line) or sinusoidal (looks like an s).

the last one is just a random cloud of points that doesn't correlate to any particular known order.
