Answer:

60 student tickets and 40 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent student tickets and a adult tickets, then the system of equations can be written as

s - a = 20 →(1)

2s + 4a = 280 → (2)

Multiply (1) by 4 and add to (2) to eliminate a

4s - 4a = 80 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

6s = 360 ( divide both sides by 6 )

s = 60

Substitute s = 60 into (1)

60 - a = 20 ( subtract 60 from both sides )

- a = - 40 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = 40

Thus

60 student and 40 adult tickets were sold.

Two cylinders are similar. The surface area of one is 49 cm ^ 2 , and the surface area of the other is 121 cm ^ 2 . Find the sca
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

7 : 17.29

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given:

Two similar cylinders:

Surface area of Cylinder A = 49cm²

Surface area of Cylinder B = 121cm²

==>Required:

Scale factor between both cylinders

==>Solution:

We can easily get the scale factor between both by taking the following steps:

=>Set up a ratio of their surface area:

Smaller cone surface area : larger cone surface area

49:121

= 49/121

=>Simplify the ratio gotten:

Dividing the denominator and the numerator by 7, would give us,

7/17.29

= 7:17.29

How far up the house would a ladder be resting if it is 25 ft long and 3 ft
Lena [83]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The last one is absurd. You can't have a ladder reaching higher than itself. The question is a Pythagorean problem.

Givens

a = 3

b = ?

c = 25 feet

Formula

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Solution

3^2 + b^2 = 25^2

9 + b^2 = 625                  Subtract 9 from both sides.

b^2 = 625 - 9

b^2 = 616                        Take the square root of both sides.

b = sqrt(616)

b = 24.8
