Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value is 62/3
Are you trying to find the area?
They will meet back up in 40 minutes because 8x5=40 and 10x4=40 which 40 is both a multple of 8 and 10 so you're welcome
X=length
y=width
Area (rectangle)=length x width
we suggest this system of equations:
y=x/5
xy=9/20
solve this system of equations by substitution method:
x(x/5)=9/20
x²/5=9/20
Least common multiple=20
4x²=9
x²=9/4
x=⁺₋√(9/4)
we have two solutions:
x₁=-3/2 it does not validate
x₂=3/2 ⇒y=x/5=(3/2)/5=3/10
The dimensions of the lake are:
lengh=3/2 miles
width=3/10 miles
to check:
Area=3/2 miles x 3/10 miles=9/20 miles².
width is 1/5 the length of the lake ⇒ 3/10 miles=(3/2) /5 miles
First, we must let:
x = number of tickets intended for adults
y = number of tickets intended for children.
a. Write in terms of x the number of tickets for children
Solution:
x + y = 28 ⇔ y = 28 - x (equation 1)
To answer in terms of x:
no. of tickets for tickets for children = 28 - x
b. the amount spent on tickets for adults
Solution: $30 is the cost of ticket per adult and there are x number of tickets intended for adults.
Therefore,
amount spent on ticket for adults = 30x
c. the amount spent on the tickets.
Solution:
$ 15 = cost of ticket per child
$ 30 = cost of ticket per adult
total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15y ⇒ (equation2)
substitute equation 1 to equation 2.
(equation 1) y = 28 - x
(equation 2) total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15y
total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15(28-x)
total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 420 - 15x
total amount spent on tickets = 15x + 420
