The answer is $25.

x - the price of an adult ticket
y - the price of a child ticket

The Jones <span>paid $74 for 2 adults and 2 children: 2x + 2y = 74
The Tuckers paid </span><span>$86 for 2 adults and 3 children: 2x + 3y = 86

This is the system of two equations:
</span>2x + 2y = 74
2x + 3y = 86
____
Multiply the first one by (-1)
2x * (-1) + 2y * (-1) = 74 * (-1)
2x + 3y = 86
____
-2x - 2y = -74
2x + 3y = 86
____
Sum the equations:
2x - 2x + 3y - 2y = 86 - 74
y = 12
____
Substitute y in the first equation to find x:
2x + 2 * 12 = 74
2x + 24 = 74
2x = 74 - 24
2x = 50
x = 50/2
x = 25

So, the price of the adult ticket is $25 and the price of the child ticket is $12.

The length of a rectangle is twice as long as the width of the rectangle.
Rashid [163]

Answer: length = 8cm

Width = 4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be represented by x.

Since the length of a rectangle is twice as long as the width of the rectangle, then the length will be: = 2 × x = 2x

Note that, Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Therefore,

2x × x = 32

2x² = 32

Divide both side by 2

2x²/2 = 32/2

x² = 16

x = ✓16

x = 4

Therefore, width = 4cm

Since length = 2x

Length = 2 × 4cm = 8cm

Check: length × width = Area

8cm × 4cm = 32cm²
