This is a simple "solve for x" equation.
5k-2k=12
3k=12
k=4
You should try doing some more on your own, as this will be coming up a lot in the future.
12/6 can be written as 2 because 6 can go into 12 two times.
<em>Marilyn is having shelves installed to create a corner pantry. </em><u><em>The length of one wall is 21 inches and the length of the other wall is 25 inches.</em></u><em> The contractor who is making the shelves, which are shaped like right triangles, needs to know the measure of the angle opposite the short side of the pantry,
</em>
Question:
<em>What is the measure of that angle? Round your answer to the nearest degree.</em>
Answer:
40°
Step-by-step explanation:

4s+7a=861
s+a=168
This can be solved using either elimination or substitution. I am going to use substitution.
Solve s+a=168 for s
s=168-a
Replace 168-a for s in 4s+7a=861
4(168-a)+7a=861
672-4a+7a=861
Solve for a
672+3a=861
3a=189
a=63
Substitute 63 for a in s=168-a
s=168-63=105
So, s=105 student tickets and a=63 adult tickets
