The given equations are:
5x - 2y = 88
3x + 4y = 58
Multiplying the 1st equation by 2, we get the new set of equations as:
10x - 4y = 176
3x + 4y = 58
Adding the two equations, we get:
10x - 4y + 3x + 4y = 176 + 58
13x =234
x = 18
Using the value of x in 1st equation, we get:
5(18) - 2y = 88
- 2y = 88 -5(18)
-2y = -2
y = 1
So, the solution of the equation is (18, 1)
To answer this item, we are instructed that the price of the ticket for the children is equal to x. Since, we are also given that this is 5.75 less than the price of tickets for the adults, we may express this as follows,
x = n - 5.75
n is the price of ticket for the adults. This can be calculated by transposing 5.75 to the other side of the equation,
n = x + 5.75
The answer is the third choice.
9 squares because if there are 18 triangles in it then you divide 18 by 2 and get 9
1. √48 → √16 * √3 = 4√3
3. √12 → √4 * √3 = 2√3
7. √125 → √25 * √5 = 5√5
8. √20 → √4 * √5 = 2√5
9. √18 → √9 * √2 = 3√2
10. √32 → √16 * √2 = 4√2
11. √50 → √25 * √2 = 5√2
12. √27 → √9 * √3 = 3√3
