Answer:

The results don't make sense

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:

"x" is the number of children's tickets

"y" is the number of adult tickets

Thus:

8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259

 x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y

replacing we have:

 8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259

280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259

 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280

0.75 * y = -21

y = -21 / 0.75

y = -28

Thus:

x = 35 - (-28) = 63

With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.

At a sport clubhouse the coach wants to rope off a rectangular area that is adjacent to the building. He uses the length of the
Furkat [3]

Answer:

w < 8 meters ( w must be greater than 0 because length cannot be 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

One side with building is 23 meters, the other opposite side also will be 23 meters (with rope).

Let width (remaining 2 sides) be "w", he has AT MOST 39 meters of rope, so we can write:

Rope Needed = 23 + 2w < 39

Simplifying:

23 + 2w < 39\\2w < 39 - 23\\2w < 16\\w < 8

The range of possible values of w is  w meters (of course w has to be greater than 0)

Solution given:

perpendicular [P]=15m

base[B]=8m

hypotenuse [H]=17m

rate :4 plants per square metre

no of plants=?

we have

Area of triangular garden: ½(P*B)=½(15*8)=60m²

Now

Total no of plants =rate ×Area =4×60=240
