These are the equations you need - a+k=total, 12a+6k=15480

Set up two equations: one for the amount of money collected, and one for the number of tickets sold (people who attended).

Let a= adults
Let s= students

Money equation:
15480=12a+6s

Ticket equation:
1500=a+s

Now just solve the system of equations for s:
15480-12a=6s\\ \frac{15480}{6} - \frac{12a}{6} =s\\ 2580-2a=s\\ 1500=a+s\\ 1500=a+(2580-2a)\\ 1500=-a+2580\\ 1500-2580=-a\\ -1080=-a\\ 1080=a\\ \\ 1500=a+s\\ 1500=1080+s 420=s

420 Students attended

The area of a rectangle is length*width.

The length of this 3x and the width is 2x-3. This means that, to find the area, you need to multiply 3x and 2x-3.

Start by writing out this equation:
A=l*w

Then, plug in your given values:
A= 3x*2x-3 (you can also write it as A= 3*x*2*x-3)

Then, following the order of operations, you start by multiplying. This makes your equation become A = 6x^2 -3. (^2 means squared). It turns into this because 3 * 2 is 6 and x * x is x^2 and you still haven’t used the 3 yet.

After this, there is nothing more that you can do to simplify the equation. Therefore, the area is 6x^2 - 3.

I hope this helped!
