Answer:
The results don't make sense
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:
"x" is the number of children's tickets
"y" is the number of adult tickets
Thus:
8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259
x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y
replacing we have:
8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259
280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259
- 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280
0.75 * y = -21
y = -21 / 0.75
y = -28
Thus:
x = 35 - (-28) = 63
With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 72°
y = 61°
Let "what" and "what" be A and B
Put this in an algebraic equation
A * B = 21
A + B = -22
A must = -21 and B must = -1 , this is because two negatives multiply to make a positive
A + B = -22 , -21 +-1 = -22
If the goal of this question is to solve for x than the correct answer is 20. Hope this helped.
Notice the picture below, see the length "l"?
well

solve for "w", to find the width,
what's the length? well, l = 11/4 w
