Atotal of 565 tickets were sold for the school play. they were either adult or student tickets. there were 65 more student tickets sold more than adult. how many adult tickets were sold?

Hello!

Let's write this as an equation.

2a+65=565

Now we solve. We subtract 65 from both sides.

2a=500

We divide both sides by 2.

a=250

Therefore, 250 adult tickets were sold.

I hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
