Find the complete question

Zelie planned for a square pool to have a side length of 28 ft but found that it needs to be 14 ft long to fit in her backyard. She found the change of scale below.

Which is Zelie’s error?

Zelie should have divided both numbers by 14.

Zelie should have written the ratio as 28/7.

Zelie should have written the ratio as 14/8.

Zelie should have subtracted 14 from both numbers.

Original length of pool = 28ft

If he found that it need to be 14ft longer then the actual measure = 14th

given equation is;

(28 - 7)/14 - 7 = 14/7

Scale constant  = original length/actual length

Scale constant = 28/14

Scale constant = 2

Hence the scale constant is 2

According to the option, Zelei should have divided both numbers by 14.

Tickets to a show cost different for seniors, children, and adults. Adult tickets are twice as much as senior tickets. Two senio
aleksklad [387]
A = 2s
c + 2s = 17 .....c + a = 17 (I subbed in "a" for 2s)
2c + a = 24

c + a = 17 .....(-1)
2c + a = 24
---------------
-c -a = -17...result of multiplying by -1
2c + a = 24
---------------add
c = 7

2c + a = 24
2(7) + a = 24
14 + a = 24
a = 24 - 14
a = 10

a = 2s
10 = 2s
10/2 = s
5 = s

so, senior tickets (s) cost $ 5,  adult tickets (a) cost $ 10, and child tickets (c) cost $ 7

1 adult ticket + 1 senior ticket would cost $ 15
