-5x + y = -5.....multiply by -2
-4x + 2y = 2
---------------
10x - 2y = 10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-4x + 2y = 2
-----------------add
6x = 12
x = 12/6
x = 2

-5x + y = -5
-5(2) + y = -5
-10 + y = -5
y = -5 + 10
y = 5

solution is (2,5)

4-62. Find the area and perimeter of the below shape. 7.6 ft 3 ft 7 ft 7 ft

stepladder [879]

Answer:

area= 59.5 perimeter=31.6

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the square is 49 because 7x7=49 and the area of the triangle is 3x7/2 because it is half of a rectangle so it is 10.5 + 49 = 59.5 and perimeter you add all the sides so 3+7.6+7+7+7= 31.6

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.75 for children and $4.80 for adults. On a certain day, 303 people entered the park

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Children 188

Adults. 115

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of children be x and adults be y

x + y = 303

x = 303 - y. .... .....(1)

1.75x + 4.80y = 881. ...........(2)

Substituting,

1.75(303-y) +4.80y = 881

530.25 -1.75y + 4.80y = 881

530.25 + 3.05y = 881

3.05y = 881 - 530.25

y = 350.75 / 3.05 = 115 = adults

Children = 303-115 = 188
