Say the number of adult tickets is x. That means the number of student tickets is 71 less, making it x - 71.
We can add the number of student and adult tickets, because we know their sum is 479.
x + x - 71 = 479
Now, we solve for x.
2x - 71 = 479
2x = 550
x = 275
So, there were 275 adult tickets sold.
First you have Define the area of the total shape. Next you'd have to find the area of the unshaded shapes. then you would multiply in that area by floor because there for unshaded boxes. finally you subtract each box from the total area to get an answer of 3x - 4
I figured out that <span>0.7=7/W means that W=10.
