Adult and student tickets were sold for a school concert. the adult tickets cost $12 each, and the student tickets cost $8 each. if a total of 360 tickets were sold for $3,480, how many of each kind of ticket were sold?

the number of adult tickets sold is 150

the number of student tickets sold is 210

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets sold.

Let y represent the number of student tickets sold.

The adult tickets cost $12 each, and the student tickets cost $8 each. The total cost of tickets sold $3,480. This means that

12x + 8y = 3480 - - - - - - - - - -1

The total number of tickets sold is 360. This means that

x + y = 360 - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 12, it becomes

12x + 8y = 3480

12x + 12y = 4320

Subtracting

-4y = -840

y = -840/-4 = 210

Substituting y = 210 into equation 2, it becomes

x = 360 - y = 360 - 210

x = 150

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
