last one. i can do the first part. put x = distance from top of ladder to the floor, y = distance from base of ladder to the wall (draw a picture) then pythagoras sez

<span><span>x2</span>+<span>y2</span>=25</span>

calculus says

<span>2x<span>x′</span>+2y<span>y′</span>=0</span>

and you are told that

<span><span>y′</span>=2</span>

so you know

<span>2x<span>x′</span>+4y=0</span>

or

<span><span>x′</span>=−<span><span>2y</span>x</span></span>

There are 195 adults and 320 children at a zoo. The zoo makes a total of $6,515 from the entrance fees, and the cost of an adult
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

a+c=27

195a+320c=6515

Step-by-step explanation:

adult (a): 195

children (c): 320

total $: $6515

child $: 27

a+c=27 --> c=-a+27

195a+320c=6515

sub the first equation into the 2nd equation to get a=17

sub a=17 into c=-a+27 to get c=10

so, an adult ticket is $17 and a child ticket is $10.
