Answer:

The number of adult tickets are 57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of tickets = 156

Total money = $1077.60

Solution,

Let the number of adult be x and of child be y .

So, Total number of tickets = Number of adults + Number of child

\therefore x+y = 156\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Now, according to question;

Total money = Number\ of\ adults\times admission\ fee + Number\ of\ child\times admission\ fee

\therefore x\times 9.70+y\times 5.30 = 1077.60\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 2

On multiplying by 10 on both side, we get;

97x+53y=10776\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 3

Now multiplying equation 1 by 53 then subtract it from equation 3, we get;

(x+y)\times53 = 156\times53\\53x+53y=8268\\(97x+53y=10776)-(53x+53y=8268)\\44x=2508\\x=\frac{2508}{44} =57

Since x is the  number of adults,

Number of adults=57

Number of child = y = 156-57=99

Thus the number of adult tickets are 57.

Angle J and angle M are base angles of an isosceles trapezoid JKLM. If angle J=20x+9 and angle M =14x+15, find angle K
anzhelika [568]
K or l will be 151 degrees.

j and m are equal to each other, giving you x=1, substitute this in to get j and m equal 29 degrees.  k or L are opposite angles meaning they add up to 180 when added to j and m so j+l=180 or m+k=180

3e + 7 - e and 2e + 10 + 2e -3
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The sum is

6e  + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming we are finding the sum of :

3e + 7 - e and 2e + 10 + 2e -3

Then we set up the addition as follows:

3e + 7 - e + 2e + 10 + 2e - 3

We group similar try to get:

3e  - e + 2e +  2e - 3 + 7 + 10

We now combine the similar terms to obtain:

6e  + 14

Therefore the sum is

6e  + 14
