x = # of balcony seats

y = # of orchestra seats

We have to create a system of equations to solve this problem

x + y = 256

$8x + $12y = $2,716

We will solve this system of equations by elimination.

Multiply the first equation by -8

-8x - 8y = -2048

8x + 12y = 2716

Let's add the equations together

0 + 4y = 668

Simplify the left side

4y = 668

Divide both sides by 4

y = 167

We can subtract 167 from 257 to get the number of balcony seats.

257 - 167 = 90 balcony seats

There are 167 orchestra seats and 90 balcony seats

The length of a rectangle is 6 m more than twice the width. if the area of the rectangle is 140m^2, find the dimensions
Yuliya22 [10]
Length(l)= 2w+6
Width(w)= w
Area(A)= 140 m²
Area= l*w
140 = l*w
140= (2w+6)w
140= 2w²+6w( divide each side by 2)
70= w²+3w
w²+3w -70= 0
(^^^^^^Factor out expression)
(w-7)(w+10)= 0 (set each expression equal to zero and use the positive answer as the value for "w"(because a negative width is impossible))

w-7=0
w=7m

w+10=0
w= -10m (Impossible for a physical measurement to negative: therefore This "w" value is incorrect)

Use w=7 to find "l"
l= 2w+6
l=2(7)+6
l=14+6
l=20 m

Answer:
The dimensions of a rectangle are length and by width. For this rectangle the dimensions are 20 meters by 7 meters.
(width= 7 meters)
(length= 20 meters)

(8b^2/3*9t^3/5)(8b^5/3*9t^3/5)
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

5,184•b•t^6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to multiply the expressions

According to indices law, if we have same bases, we add up the exponents

Thus, we have that;

8 *8b^(2/3+5/3) * 9 * 9 * t^(3/5+3/5)

= 64 * b * 81 * t^6/5

= 5,184bt^6/5
