A movie theater has a seating capacity of 387. The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The attendance was 198 children, 90 students and 99 adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

We define:

c: children attendance

s: students attendance

a: adult attendance

The equation that describes the total ticket sales is:

$5c+7s+12a=2808$

We also know that the children attendance doubles the adult attendance:

$c=2a$

The third equation is the seating capacity, which we assume is full:

$c+s+a=387$

We start by replacing variables in two of the equations:

$c=2a\\\\s=387-c-a=387-2a-a=387-3a$

Then, we solve the remaining equation for a:

$5c+7s+12a=2808\\\\5(2a)+7(387-3a)+12a=2808\\\\10a+(2709-21a)+12a=2808\\\\10a+12a-21a=2808-2709\\\\a=99$

Then, we solve for the other two equations:

$c=2a=2*99=198\\\\s=387-3a=387-3*99=387-297=90$

The attendance was 198 children, 90 students and 99 adults.

The length of a side of an equilateral triangle is 40cm. what is the length of the altitude of the triangle?

podryga [215]

Answer:

20√3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Altitude of an equilateral triangle splits it into 2 equal right triangles, it bisects the base and the angle opposite to the base.

Let the altitude be x. Then as per Pythagorean theorem:

x² = 40² - (40/2)²
x²= 1600 -400
x²= 1200
x= √1200
x= 20√3 cm

Correct choice is the second one

Need help with 9 please

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

x = 5

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

So move 2y from the second equation to the other side of the equals sign

2x +3y = 13

x = 3 + 2y

From here substitute X into the first equation

2(3 + 2y) + 3y = 13

Distribute

6 + 4y +3y = 13

Combine like terms and solve for y

7y = 7

y = 1

insert result into the original equation.

x-2(1) = 3

x - 2 = 3

x = 5

insert into other equation to check work

2(5) + 3(1) = 13

10 + 3 = 13 correct
