4 adult tickets were sold and 8 student tickets were sold.
How did I get this? 

First, let's see what information is given:
12 tickets sold
(S)tudent ticket = $9
(A)dult ticket = $12
Total cost = $120

So, we know student tickets plus adult tickets total up to $12. We can create an equation out of this: S + A = 12

And we know $9S + $12A = $120 

The variables represent the amount of tickets sold, which is unknown. 
A = 12 - S , substitute this into the second equation.

9s + 12(12-s) = 120
Distribute the 12 into the parenthesis.

9s + 144 - 12s = 120
Combine like terms

-3s + 144 = 120
Subtract both sides by 144, left side cancels out.

-3s = -24
s = -24/-3
s = 8 

So, 8 student tickets were sold. Plug the value of s into our first equation.

A = 12 - 8 
A = 4 (adult tickets)

The perimeter of a rectangle is 64 feet. The length of the rectangle is 3 times the width of the rectangle. If w represents the
Anettt [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

given the perimeter is

64ft

the length l= 3w

we know that the perimeter of a rectangle is given as

P=2l+2W

but L=3w

64=2(3w)+2w

64=6w+2w

64=8w

divide both sides by 8 we have

w=64/8

w=8ft

also

let the lenght of the rectangle be l

side of hexagon=l-4

perimeter of hexagon

P=5(l-4)

P=5l-20

width of rectangle w=l-2

perimeter of rectangle= 2l+2w

but w=l-2

5l-20= 2l+2(l-2)

5l-20=2l+2l-4

5l-20=4l-4

5l-4l=-4+20

l=16ft

perimeter of hexagon

P=5(l-4)

put l=16

perimeter of hexagon

P=5(16-4)

p=5(12)

P=60ft
