You have to add it backwards and times it then you divde 2
width of the rectangle = b = x
length of the rectangle = l = 8 + 2x
Perimeter of the rectangle = 70cm
Also, perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)
70 = 2[x + (8 + 2x)]
70 = 2(x + 8 + 2x)
70 = 2(3x + 8)
70 = 6x + 16
70 - 16 = 6x
54 = 6x
54/6 = x
9 = x
Therefore, b = x
b = 9cm
l = 8 + 2x
I = 8 + 2×9
I = 8 + 18
I = 26cm
2/3 because 60 is in a hour and if you take away the zeros in 60 and 40 you get 4/6 and then you can simplify to 2/3
Let children be x
Adult be y
5.10x+9.40y=1184.20 ... 1
x+y=158 ... 2
From 1// 510x+940y=118420 ... 3
From 2// y=158-x ... 4
Sub 4 into 3
510x+940(158-x)= 118420
510x+148520-940x=118420
-430x= -30100
x=70
As we know that children are x, 70 children tickets were sold.
