Answer:

a = 195 ; c = 615

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you want to start by forming your equations...

I will use 'c' for children and 'a' for adults for my variables

3a + 30 = c  

(this is because of the info that 30 more tickets than 3 times the amount of children's were sold than adult)

then for equation 2:

3c + 5a = 2820

(this is because of the prices of the tickets and the total money raised)

Then, plug in the equation for c

Your equation should look like:

3(3a + 30) + 5a = 2820

You get:

(9a +90) + 5a = 2820

Then:

14a = 2730

So:

a = 195 adult tickets sold

Plug in a, to find c:

3 (195) + 30 = c

585 + 30 = c

c = 615 children tickets sold

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet. Its length is 12 feet longer than the width. Find the length and wid
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Length = 17 feet, Width = 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet.

Its length is 12 feet longer than the width.

Question asked:

Find the length and width of the wall of the barn.

Solution:

Let width of a rectangular wall of a barn = x

<u>As length is 12 feet longer than the width.</u>

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = 12+x

As we know:

Area\ of\ rectangle=length\times breadth

85=(12+x)x\\\\85=12x+x^{2} \\

Subtracting both sides by 85

x^{2} +12x-85=0\\x^{2} +17x-5x-85=0\\Taking\ common\\x+(x+17)-5x(x+17)=0\\(x+17)(x-5)=0\\x+17=0, x-5=0\\x=-17,x=5

As width can never be in negative, hence  width of a rectangular wall of a barn = x = 5 feet

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = 12+x=12+5=17\ feet

Therefore, length and width of the wall of the barn is 17 feet and 5 feet respectively.

Round 835.411 to the nearest tenth.
kondor19780726 [428]

The tenth position is the one that goes after the decimal point.

To round a number, you have to take into account the following:

1. If the number that goes after the position we are going to round to is greater than 5, we round to the next number in that position.

2. If the number that goes after the position we are going to round to is less than 5, we round to the same number in that position.

In this case, the number that is on the tenth's position is 4. The number that is after this position is 1, which is less than 5, then we round the number in this positon to 4.

The rounded number would be:

835.4
