Answer:

175 adults

360 senior citizens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of senior citizens

There were a total of 535 people, so

(535-x)=total number of adults

Total receipts=$8,355

Adult payments+Senior payments=$8,355

21(535-x)+13x=$8,355

$11,235-21x+13x=$8,355

$11,235-8x=$8,355

-8x=$-2,880

x=360 senior citizens

Number of adults=535-360=175 adults

To check, just substitute...

21(175)+13(360)

3,675+4,680

Which equals.....

$8,355

A(a-bx)/x=2/3<br> PLEASE
RSB [31]

Answer:

This cannot be solved but it can be simplified

first we open the bracket

so we have

a²- abx/x = 2/3

next we cross multiply so it will be 3(a² - abx) = 2x

we get

3a² - 3abx = 2x

Next we factorise so we can get

3a(a-bx) =2x

I dont know what exactly you where asked but I hop this helps
