Since the width is the smaller value, make the width=x. That would make the length=2x-3. Area=length*width. Substitute your variables and known values into the equation. 14=(2x-3)(x). Distribute the x to give you 14=2 x^{2} -3x. Set the equation equal to 0 giving you 2 x^{2} -3x-14=0. Factor the equation to give you (2x-7)(x+2)=0. Set each factor equal to 0 and solve. 2x-7=0 gives you x=7/2 & x+2=0 gives you x=-2. Since we're working with lengths and widths, the answer cannot be negative. Therefore, your width equals 7/2. To find the length, substitute 7/2 into the original expression for length (2x-3). That gives you 2*(7/2)-3=7-3=4. The length is 4.

At an amusement park , the cost of 3 adult tickets and 4 children’s ticket is $126.50 another customer paid $120.50 for 2 adult
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

1 Adult ticket=$21.50 ; 1 Children ticket=$15.50

Step-by-step explanation:

3A+4C=126.50

2A+5C=120.50

We find the price of adult tickets 1st.

15A+20C=632.5

8A+20C=482

7A=632.5-482=150.5

1A=21.50

Now we find Children ticket

6A+8C=253

6A+15C=361.50

7C=108.50

1C=15.50
