Square root is the number that when multiplied when itself give the number you are looking for if that makes any sense.
8 is the square root of 64 because 8x8 = 64
City A and City B are about 76.5 miles apart because 51*1.5 = 76.5
14.7x + 4x = 0*(49y+39y) y = 14
18.7x = 0(686 + 546)
18.7x = 0
x = 0
To solve this, I would just find what two adult tickets and one child ticket wold be worth.
To find that, just do:
5.20 + 9.90 * 2, which makes 25.
So now you just find how many 25s are in 900, or 36.
So 36 children's tickets were sold that day.
Hope I helped :)
