Answer:

562 child tickets were sold

217 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

A festival charges $3 for children admission and $5 for adult admission

At the end of the festival they have sold a total number of 779 tickets for $2771

Let x represent the child ticket

Let y represent the adult ticket

x + y= 779..............equation 1

3x + 5y= 2771..........equation 2

From equation 1

x + y = 779

x= 779 -y

Substitute 779-y for x in equation 2

3x + 5y= 2771

3(779-y) + 5y= 2771

2337 - 3y + 5y= 2771

2337 +2y= 2771

2y= 2771 -2337

2y = 434

y = 434/2

y = 217

Substitute 217 for y in equation 1

x + y= 779

x + 217= 779

x = 779-217

x= 562

Hence 562 child tickets were sold and 217 adult tickets were sold

The length of a rectangle is seven times its width. The area of the rectangle is 175 square centimeters. Find the dimensions of
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

<h3>The length is 35cm</h3><h3>The width is 5cm</h3><h3 />

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = l × w

where

l is the length

w is the width

The length is seven times the width is written as

l = 7w

Area of the rectangle = 175 cm²

7w × w = 175

7w² = 175

Divide both sides by 7

w² = 25

Find the square root of both sides

w = √25

w = 5cm

But l = 7w

l = 7(5)

l = 35cm

The length is 35cm

The width is 5cm

Hope this helps you.

Problem 1.1
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 table and 2 chairs (2-seat table)

1 table and 4 chairs (4-seat table)

120 people so we need 120 chairs

Some Possibilities  :

120 /4 = 30

0( 2-seat table) and 30 (4- seat tables) because 0·2 + 30·4 = 0+120 = 120

2( 2-seat table) and 29 (4- seat tables) because 2·2 + 29·4 = 4+ 116= 120

4( 2-seat table) and 28 (4- seat tables) because 4·2 + 28·4 = 8+ 112= 120

...

120/2 = 60

60( 2-seat table) and 0 (4- seat tables) because 60·2 + 0·4 = 120 + 0 = 120

58( 2-seat table) and 1 (4- seat tables) because 58·2 + 1·4 = 116 + 4 = 120

56( 2-seat table) and 2 (4- seat tables) because 56·2 + 2·4 = 112 + 8 = 120

29 — 6x=5(1 – 6x)<br> Please show me the steps
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

x= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>START</em></u> 29 - 6x = 5(1 - 6x)

1.  Distribute

29 - 6x = 5 - 30x

2. Isolate the variable

~ <u>2a</u>. Add 30x to both sides

29 - 6x + 30x = 5 - 30x + 30x

~ <u>2b</u>. Subtract 29 from both sides

29 - 29 - 6x + 30x = 5 - 29 - 30x + 30x

3. Simplify

24x = -24

4. Solve

x = -1

<em><u>END</u></em>
