Total tickets sold = # of kid's tickets sold + # of adult tickets sold
Total money made = amount of money kid's tickets raised + amount the adult tickets made

These can be rephrased as
140 = k + a
and
$1086.40 = $5.30k + $9.40a

Rephrase the first;
140 = k + a
a = 140 - k

Plug the equation into the first;
1086.4 = 5.3k + 9.4a
1086.4 = 5.3k + 9.4(140 - k)
1086.4 = 5.3k + 1316 - 9.4k
-229.6 = -4.1k
<span>k = 56 tickets</span>

C + a = 140......a = 140 - c
5.3c + 9.4a = 1086.4

5.3c + 9.4(140 - c) = 1086.4
5.3c + 1316 - 9.4c = 1086.4
5.3c - 9.4c = 1086.4 - 1316
-4.1c = - 229.6
c = -229.6 / -4.1
c = 56......so their were 56 child tickets sold

Explain how to find 27% of 16 using multiplication by
just olya [345]

Answer:

4.32

Step-by-step explanation:

You can multiply 16 by 0.27 to get the answer.

16*0.27=4.32

You can check your work with estimation because 27% is about 1/4 of the number, and just by looking at the number, 4 is 1/4 of the number.

What does it mean to eliminate a variable?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The elimination method for solving systems of linear equations uses the addition property of equality. You can add the same value to each side of an equation.

So if you have a system: x – 6 = −6 and x + y = 8, you can add x + y to the left side of the first equation and add 8 to the right side of the equation. And since x + y = 8, you are adding the same value to each side of the first equation.

What is the value of the angle marked with x?
morpeh [17]

Given:

Quadrilateral with opposite lines are parallel.

To find:

The value of x

Solution:

Quadrilateral with opposite lines are parallel.

Therefore the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

In parallelogram, the adjacent angles are supplementary angles.

⇒ 48° + x = 180°

Subtract 48° from both sides.

⇒ 48° + x - 48° = 180° - 48°

⇒ x = 132°

The value of the angle x is 132°.
