Question

The sum that represents the number of tickets sold if 35 tickets were sold monday, half of the remaining tickets were sold on tuesday, and 14 tickets were sold on Wednesday is that linear or nonlinear?​

Answer 1

Total number of tickets sold on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday combined is 63.

Explanation:

We are given the following information:

Let x be the number of tickets sold.

Tickets sold on Monday = 35

Tickets sold on Tuesday =
`(1)/(2)(x-35)`

Tickets sold on Wednesday = 14

The sum of tickets sold can be represented with the help of expression:

`35 + (1)/(2)(x - 35) + 14 = x\\70 + x - 35 + 28 = 2x\\x = 63`

The expression is clearly linear in nature. Hence, the sum of the tickets is linear in nature

Total number of tickets sold on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday combined is 63.
