Answer:
x = 24.52
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
24² + 5² = x²
576 + 25 = x²
601 = x²
√601 = x
Johnny is selling tickets to a school play. On the first day of ticket sales he sold 14 senior (S) citizen tickets and 4 child (C) tickets for a total of $200. On the second day of ticket sales he sold 7 senior (S) citizen tickets and 1 child (C) ticket for a total of $92. What is the price of one child ticket?
14S + 4C = 200
14S = 200 - 4C
S = (200 - 4C)/14
7S + 1C = 92
7S = 92 - C
S = (92 - C)/7
(200 - 4C)/14 = (92 - C)/7
7 x (200 - 4C) = 14 x (92 - C)
1400 - 28C = 1288 - 14C
1400 - 1288 = 28C - 14C
112 = 14C
C = 112/14 = 8
the price of one child ticket = $8
To solve for x you have to bring the 12 to the other side
How do we do this?
Well if you think about it this is technically what the equation shows
This means to isolate x you can multiply both sides by 12 and that will cancel 
from the right side
can be further simplified to...

^^^This is the answer
Check:
3/4 = 9/12
3/4 = 3/4
Hope this helped!
