Answer:

The general admission ticket number is 160 and the upper box ticket number is 136

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we can solve it using a 2x2 system of equations, like this:

let x be general admission tickets number

let y be upper box tickets  number

So:

6.5 * x + 10 * y = 2400

x + y = 296 => x = 296 - y

Replacing, we are left with that:

6.5 * (296 - y) + 10 * y = 2400

1924 - 6.5 * y + 10 * y = 2400

10 * y - 6.5 * y = 2400 - 1924

3.5 * y = 476

y = 476 / 3.5

y = 136

Now to calculate x:

x = 296 - 136

x = 160

The general admission ticket number is 160 and the upper box ticket number is 136

Brut [27]
A) The length of the longer leg is x-1

b) Based on the area, the other leg is 2*30/(x -1). Based on the Pythagorean theorem, the other leg is √(x^2 -(x -1)^2).

c) Equating the two expressions for the shorter leg, we have
.. 60/(x -1) = √(2x -1)
.. 3600/(x -1)^2 = (2x -1)
.. (2x -1)(x^2 -2x +1) = 3600
.. 2x^3 -5x^2 +4x -3601 = 0

d) There is one positive real root, at x=13. A graphical solution works well.

The three sides of the triangle are 5 in, 12 in, 13 in.
