Your answer would be (.5,-2,5)
Answer:
The value of x is 12 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape in question is a composite shape. We can see that x is both the base of the triangle and the breadth of the rectangle.
To get the area of the shape, we will have to add the area of the rectangle to the area of the triangle.
Area of rectangle = length X breadth
Area of triangle = 1/2 base X height.
However, to calculate the area of the triangle, we need to find its height first.
The next step is to get the height of the triangle. Observing the shape properly, we can see that we can get the height by subtracting the length of the rectangle from the overall length of the shape.
Height of triangle = 16 ft - 10 ft = 6 ft
recall area = 156 square feet.
We now have most of our missing dimensions
We can now set up an equation as follows:

Therefore the value of x is 12 feet
Answer:
42 child and 70 adult
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = number of adult tickets
c = number of child tickets
a+c = 112
2.25a + 1.75c = 231
Solve the first equation for a
a = 112-c
Substitute this into the second equation
2.25(112-c) + 1.75c = 231
Distribute
252 - 2.25c +1.75c = 231
Combine like terms
252 -.5c = 231
Subtract 252 from each side
252-252 -.5c = 231-252
-.5c = -21
Divide each side by -.5
-.5c/-.5 = -21/ -.5
c = 42
Now can find a
a = 112-c
a = 112-42
a = 70
The mistake Shawna made was in her answer the 54 repeats so the bar should be over the .54 not the .545
