OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

the ratio is 23:19 then it equals to 210 therefore 23x + 19x = 210 x is the number of tickets

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

what is 23 + 19?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

42

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

so 23x + 19x is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

42

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

42x

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

so 23x + 19x = 210 42x = 210 now divide both sides by 42 btw...is the question right??? how many tickets were sold???
