From the information given, the original price per pound was increased by $ 0.75
Let the original price be x, so the new price is x + 0.75
Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at new price and it cost him 5.88
so we form an equation:
3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88
3x + 2.25 = 5.88
3x = 5.88 - 2.25
3x = 3.63
x = 3.63 / 3
x = 1.21
Therefore the original price per pound is 1.21 dollars
234 = a + s s = students a = adults
2a = s
after you get the equations you solve. plug 2a into the above equation.
so u get
234 = a + 2a
234=3a then divide 3 from each side
78 = a
so 78 adult tickets were sold
Im pretty sure it is the first one
Let
x-------------> amount added <span>to each side
</span>A-------------> area increased----------> 84 ft²
we know that
A=(10+x)*(5+x)=84-----------> 10*5+10*x+5*x+x²
50+15x+x²=84----------> x²+15x-34=0
<span>solving the second order equation
</span>x1=-17
x2=2
the answer is x=2 ft
..................(1x+14y)4
