Admission to the movie is $7.50 for adults and $3.50 for students. The theater's goal is to receive $1500 in revenue for the evening. Write an equation that models in this relationship. (: Please help :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its probably going to be a two variable equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in other words How much is the theater supposed to receive in the end variable 1 (choose any variable 'a', 'b', 'c' ...) adult admission variable 2 (same thing just do not choose the same as 'variable 1') child admission price multiplied (ex. 2 or 3 times ) will be the number of how many tickets bought

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how? i don't understand.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how much will be the ending revenue be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theater revenue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its in the word problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1500?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is supposed to count the number tickets of adult and child admission that equal to the price of the theater revenue 1500

OpenStudy (anonymous):

child admission adult admission = 1500 (theater revenue)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7.50 + 5.50=1500?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on the right track but you need more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need the variables those are only numbers nothing to separate them from being adult tickets and child tickets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets say i give an example i want to buy oranges 2.00 enough for 10.00 put it into an equation i would need G = orange 2.00 G = 10.00

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7.50A + 3.50 S=1500?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rt? this is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you only need the equation right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep that's all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thank you :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3*-3(2*2-4*-7)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-216 0r 288?
