Answer:

Adult tickets =125

Child tickets = 128

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult and children tickets sold be x and y respectively

So that

x+y= 253--------1

Since total sales/receipt is $2,771

And given that tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children hence

15x+7y= 2771-------2

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously we have

x+y= 253---------------1

15x+7y= 2771----------2

Let us multiply equation 1 by 15 to get equation 3 to eliminate x and subtract equation 2 from 3

15x+15y=3795---------3

-{15x+7y= 2771----------2

0+8y=1024

8y= 1024

y= 1024/8

y= 128 tickets

So solve for x let us put y= 128 in equation 1

x+ 128=253

x=253-128

x= 125 tickets

Answer:

8 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Our first step is to set x as the other side length, and y as the hypotenuse. We get that 6 + x + y = 24, and x + y = 18. The area gives us that 6x = 24(2) = 48. We then divide both sides by 6 and we get x = 8. We have x = 8 so we plug that into the equation x + y = 18 and we get that y = 10. So the other side lengths are 8 and 10.

Answer:

Once upon a time, there were a two person family who lived out in the woods. The father took great care of the son. The father was a Botany, but had retired because of his age. But still he loved plants and grew a garden. The garden included Giant Bird of Paradise, Carnations, Irises, and ofc roses. He loved plants so much that he went out to dig a hole and plant different  flowers and plants every spring. When the son grew older he helped the father with the garden. Two years later his son was accused of murder, but the body wasn't found. Next spring came and the father went out to dig. He couldn't Finnish it. He called his son and say he couldn't do the garden thing, because of his age. The son said don't dig there that's where he hid the bodies. The police came to dig the holes and try to find the bodies, but none of them were found. The father called the son again, and the son said thats all I can do for you right now.
