Your school drama club is putting on a play and hopes to raise $600 from ticket sales. They sell adult tickets for $8 each and student tickets for $5 each. Let x represent the number of adult tickets and y represent the number of student tickets. The equation to represent the number of tickets sold to reach their goal, 8x+ 5y = 600, is graphed below. If 30 student tickets are sold, how many adult tickets must be sold to reach their goal?

Answer 1

So students is y, right?

Answer 2

So 5*30 is 150, r u there?

Answer 3

Yes! Sorry

Answer 4

So u have 8x + 5y = 600 and we already put 5*30 =150 so

8x + 150 = 600 so you just need to solve that for x and you are done.
