Let us formulate the independent equation that represents the problem. We let x be the cost for adult tickets and y be the cost for children tickets. All of the sales should equal to $20. Since each adult costs $4 and each child costs $2, the equation should be

4x + 2y = 20

There are two unknown but only one independent equation. We cannot solve an exact solution for this. One way to solve this is to state all the possibilities. Let's start by assigning values of x. The least value of x possible is 0. This is when no adults but only children bought the tickets.

When x=0,
4(0) + 2y = 20
y = 10

When x=1,
4(1) + 2y = 20
y = 8

When x=2,
4(2) + 2y = 20
y = 6

When x=3,
4(3) + 2y= 20
y = 4

When x = 4,
4(4) + 2y = 20
y = 2

When x = 5,
4(5) + 2y = 20
y = 0

When x = 6,
4(6) + 2y = 20
y = -2

A negative value for y is impossible. Therefore, the list of possible combination ends at x =5. To summarize, the combinations of adults and children tickets sold is tabulated below:

   Number of adult tickets             Number of children tickets
                  0                                                   10
                  1                                                    8
                  2                                                    6
                  3                                                    4
                  4                                                    2
                  5                                                    0

Find the angles of a parallelogram in which an exterior angle is one-third that its interior angle.​
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The angles of a parallelogram are 135°-45°-135°-45°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a parallelogram opposites angles are congruent and consecutive angles are supplementary

Remember that  

The sum of a exterior angle and its interior angle is equal to 180 degrees

Let

x ----> the measure of one interior angle of parallelogram

y ----> the measure of the other interior angle of  parallelogram

we have that

x+\frac{x}{3}=180^o

solve for x

\frac{4}{3}x=180^o\\\\x=(180^o)3/4\\\\x=135^o

<em>Find the measure of the other interior angle of parallelogram</em>

Remember that consecutive interior angles are supplementary

x+y=180^o

substitute the value of x

135^o+y=180^o

solve for y

y=45^o

therefore

The angles of a parallelogram are 135°-45°-135°-45°
