Answer:

adult tickets = 17, children tickets = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of children and y the number of adults

Then given that 26 tickets are sold, we can write

x + y = 26 → (1)

Given that ticket cost was $194 we can write

5.5x + 8.5y = 194 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x by subtracting x from both sides

y = 26 - x → (3)

Substitute y = 26 - x into (2)

5.5x + 8.5(26 - x) = 194 ← distribute and simplify left side

5.5x + 221 - 8.5x = 194

- 3x + 221 = 194 ( subtract 221 from both sides )

- 3x = - 27 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 9

Substitute x = 9 into (3) for corresponding value of y

y = 26 - 9 = 17

Hence number of adult tickets sold = 17

number of children tickets sold = 9

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:There are many different answers :-)    but 100, 40, 40 is one

Step-by-step explanation:

There are quite a few answers, but you need to make sure 1 angle is greater than 90 degrees.  The remaining two angles should add up to less than 89 degrees and all 3 angles should total 180 degrees.

The area of the conference table in Mr. Nathan’s office must be no more that 175 ft^2. If the length of the table is 18 ft more
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

(0, 7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the width W and the length L.  The length is 18 feet more than the width, so:

L = W + 18

The area can be no more than 175, so:

A ≤ 175

LW ≤ 175

Since L = W + 18:

(W + 18) W ≤ 175

W² + 18W ≤ 175

W² + 18W - 175 ≤ 0

(W - 7) (W + 25) ≤ 0

-25 ≤ W ≤ 7

However, the width of the table can't be nonpositive, so:

0 < W ≤ 7

Or in interval notation, (0, 7].
