Understanding Ticket Sales and Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a problem involving ticket sales at a school concert. It begins by defining variables for student and adult tickets, then formulates an equation based on given conditions. The tutorial walks through solving the equation step-by-step to find the number of student tickets sold. It concludes with additional insights on calculating adult tickets if needed.

What was the total value of tickets sold at the school concert?

• $2,400

• $2,460

• $2,500

• $2,446

How much did each student ticket cost?

• $10

• $12

• $7

• $5

What is the expression for the number of adult tickets sold if 's' is the number of student tickets?

• s + 3

• s - 7

• 3s - 7

• 3s + 7

What is the value of the expression 3s - 7 when s equals the number of student tickets sold?

• The number of adult tickets sold

• The total value of tickets

• The price of adult tickets

• The number of student tickets sold

What is the equation used to find the total value of tickets sold?

• 7s + 10(3s - 7) = 2446

• 7s + 10s = 2446

• 10s + 7 = 2446

• 3s - 7 = 2446

What is the first step in solving the equation for the number of student tickets sold?

• Multiply by 10

• Divide by 37

• Combine like terms

• Add 70 to both sides

After simplifying the equation, what is the next step to isolate the variable term?

• Multiply by 37

• Subtract 70 from both sides

• Divide by 10

• Add 70 to both sides

What is the final step to solve for 's' in the equation?

• Subtract 37 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 37

• Add 37 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 37

How many student tickets were sold?

• 65

• 72

• 68

• 70

If asked, how would you find the number of adult tickets sold?

• Use the expression 3s - 7

• Subtract 7 from the number of student tickets

• Add 7 to the number of student tickets

• Multiply the number of student tickets by 3
