They buy 8 orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats

Step-by-step explanation:

For a production of Sweeney Todd in Las Vegas

  • Orchestra seats cost $42
  • Mezzanine seats cost $25
  • A group of 14 people show up and spend a total of $486

We need to find how many of each kind of seat they bought

Assume that the group of people takes x orchestra seats and y mezzanine seats

∵ The group of 14 people show up

∵ x represents the number of orchestra seats

∵ y represents the number of mezzanine seats

∴ x + y = 14 ⇒ (1)

∵ Orchestra seats cost $42 each

∵ Mezzanine seats cost $25 each

∵ The group of people spend a total of $486

∴ 42 x + 25 y = 486 ⇒ (2)

Now we have system of equations to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -25 to eliminate y

∵ -25 x - 25 y = -350 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ 17 x = 136

- Divide both sides by 17

∴ x = 8

Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find y

∵ 8 + y = 14

- Subtract 8 from both sides

∴ y = 6

They buy 8 orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats

Can anyone help me in this whole math question? Especially Number b and c. <br>Thanks. ​
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Irregular polygons are polygons that do not have equal sides or equal angles. When finding the area of an irregular polygon, partition the polygon into smaller regular polygon shapes. You can then plug those measurements into their respective area formulas and multiply to find the area of one part of the shape.

This is 16cm.

What is the value of x in the figure Pls help​
Murljashka [212]

Answer: x=18

im assuming that this is a right angle

so if it is then that means the total of the angle should be 90 degrees. so 2x+3x should be equal to 90. Just combine like terms to get that 5x=90 and then isolate the variable (divide by 5 on both sides) so x ends up equaling 18.

so x=18
