Answer:
#adult tickets sold = 346
#student tickets sold = 812
Step-by-step explanation:
let 'x' = # adult tickets sold
let 'y' = # students tickets sold
System of Equations:
x + y = 1158
5x + y = 2542
I used the elimination method and multiplied the first equation by -1
-x - y = -1158
+<u> 5x + y = 2542</u>
4x = 1384
x = 346
346 + y = 1158
y = 812
No, actually the method is not correct. Adiya needed to take x2 and subtract it from 20x. she would then get 6 = 18x. Have in mind also that she needed to divide 18. So 6 = 18x turns into 6=X. That is why is incorrect
Length: 12
Width: 4 since 12x4=48 and length is 3 times as long as it is wide.
