Using systems of equations, you can find the number of tickets by elimination.
S are students and A are adults.
S+A=8
7.25A+5.50S=52.75
Multiply the first equation by -5.50 to eliminate S.
-5.50A-5.50S=-44
7.25A+5.50S=52.75
1.75A=8.75
8.75÷1.75=5
There were 5 adult tickets and 3 students.

A lot is in the shape of a triangle. One side is 100 ft longer than the shortest side, while the third side is 700 ft longer tha
vaieri [72.5K]

We have the next information

x= the shortest side measure

y= the second side measure

y=x+100

z= the third side measures

z=x+700

We know also that the perimeter is 2900 ft

Therefore the equation for the perimeter of the triangle will be

P=x+y+z2900=x+x+100+x+700

we sum like terms

2900=3x+800

then we isolate the x

3x=2900-8003x=2100x=\frac{2100}{3}=700

therefore

x=700ft

y=700+100=800ft

z=700+700=1400ft

The lengths of the sides of the lote are 700 ,800, and 1400 ft,
