Answer: 13.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees, we know that in triangle UWV, $m\angle U=50^{\circ}$ . Thus, the triangles are similar by AA.

Since corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

$\frac{x}{24}=\frac{20}{36}\\x=(20/36)(24)=\boxed{13.3}$

Galen sold tickets for his church’s carnival for a total of $2,820. Children’s tickets cost $3 each and adult tickets cost $5 ea

Veronika [31]

Answer:

a = 195 ; c = 615

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you want to start by forming your equations...

I will use 'c' for children and 'a' for adults for my variables

3a + 30 = c

(this is because of the info that 30 more tickets than 3 times the amount of children's were sold than adult)

then for equation 2:

3c + 5a = 2820

(this is because of the prices of the tickets and the total money raised)

Then, plug in the equation for c

Your equation should look like:

3(3a + 30) + 5a = 2820

You get:

(9a +90) + 5a = 2820

Then:

14a = 2730

So:

a = 195 adult tickets sold

Plug in a, to find c:

3 (195) + 30 = c

585 + 30 = c

c = 615 children tickets sold
