Question

Thank you guys soo much

Answer 1

a. 64 tickets.

b. $11.

Explanation:

a.

`y` is given as
`37`, and the question is asking for the value of
`x`.

Solve this equation with respect to
`x`.

`0.50x + 5.00 = 37`.

Subtract 5.00 from both sides of this equation:

`0.50x = 32`.

`\displaystyle x= (32)/(0.50) = 64`.

In other words, 64 tickets were purchased.

b.

`x = 12`, and the question is asking for the value of
`y`.

Replace
`x` with 12 and evaluate the expression
`y = 0.50x + 5.00` for
`y`.

`y = 0.50* 12 + 5.00 = 11.00`.

In other words, $11.00 were spent.
