See the attached for a graph and the solution: (x, y) = (3, 0).
_____
With the availability and simplicity of the Desmos on-line graphing calculator, this is my favorite method of solving systems of equations.
The solution to the system is (90,40)....x = adults and y = child's...so x = 90 (there were 90 adult tickers) and y = 40 (there were 40 child tickets)...u already had the answer right in front of you
If the triangles are similar, then the corresponding ratio of their sides have equal ratios. Through ratio and proportion, we would determine the answer.
5/6 = x/9, where x is the length for side PN
Transposing the equation so that x is on the left side:
x = (5/6)*9
x = 7.5
Step 1: Subtract -2 from both sides.<span><span><span><span>

Answer:
2744 pennies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pennies Al have initially.
We have been given that Al agreed to give 3/7 of his pennies to Bev, so number of pennies Bev will get would be 
.
We are also told that Bev gave 3/7 of what she got from Al to Carl, so number of pennies that Carl will get would be 
.
Further, Carl gave 3/7 of what he got from Bev to Dani, so number of pennies that Dani will get would be 
.
We are also told that Dani received 216 pennies. Now, we will equate 216 to 
and solve for x as shown below:
Therefore, Al have 2744 pennies initially.
