A total of 573 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 73 more student tickets sold than adult tickets. How many adult tickets were sold?

146 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 73 from 573 which = 500

then you'll take away 500 from 73 =427

then you will subtract 427 from 573= 146

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i
