Answer:
6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
if / means absolute value, then the answer is -3. The absolute value of 3 is 3, then you take the negative value of it, which is -3.
Btw, the absolute sign is ||, not //.
The given inequality is:

This inequality can be divided in two parts as:
a)

b)

Solving part a:

Solving part b:

Therefore, the solution to the given inequality is

and

. Combining both the ranges we get the solution:

.
In interval notation, this solution can be expressed as [1,5]
X= number of adult tickets
y=number of child tickets.
we can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=118 ⇒x=118-y
7.5x+3y=696
we can solve this system of equations by substitution method:
7.5(118-y)+3y=696
885-7.5y+3y=696
-4.5y=-189
y=-189/-4.5
y=42
x=118-y
x=118-42
x=76
Answer: the number of adult tickets sold was 76.
3 sets or it you could divide which would still give you 3
