Question

1. a theater is selling tickets to a play. adult tickets cost $8 each and children’s tickets cost $5 each. they collect $275 after selling x adult tickets and y children’s tickets. what does the point (30, 7) mean in this situation?

Explanation:

In the context of ticket sales, \( x \) represents the number of adult tickets sold and \( y \) represents the number of children's tickets sold. The point \((30, 7)\) has \( x = 30 \) and \( y = 7 \). So, \( x = 30 \) means 30 adult tickets are sold, and \( y = 7 \) means 7 children's tickets are sold.

Answer:

The point \((30, 7)\) means that 30 adult tickets and 7 children's tickets are sold.
