Answer: 74 children attended

86 students attended

37 adults attended

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of children that attended.

Let y represent the number of students that attended.

Let z represent the number of adults that attended.

The movie theater has a seating capacity of 197. It means that

x + y + z = 197- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of adults. If the total ticket sales was $ 1416, It means that

5x + 7y + 12z = 1416- - - - - - - - - - 2

There are half as many adults as there are children. It means that

It means that

z = x/2

x = 2z

Substituting x = 2z into equation 1 and equation 2, it becomes

2z + y + z = 197

y + 3z = 197- - - - - - - - - - - - -3

5 × 2z + 7y + 12z = 1416

10z + 7y + 12z = 1416

7y + 22z = 1416- - - - - - - - - - - 4

Multiplying equation 3 by 7 and equation 4 by 1, it becomes

7y + 21z = 1379

7y + 22z = 1416

Subtracting, it becomes

- z = - 37

z = 37

x = 2z = 2 × 37

x = 74

Substituting x = 74 and z = 37 into equation 1, it becomes

74 + y + 37 = 197

y = 197 - 74 - 37

y = 86

Answer:

  6. (A, B, C) ≈ (112.4°, 29.5°, 38.0°)

  7. (a, b, C) ≈ (180.5, 238.5, 145°)

Step-by-step explanation:

My "work" is to make use of a triangle solver calculator. The results are attached. Triangle solvers are available for phone or tablet and on web sites. Many graphing calculators have triangle solvers built in.

__

We suppose you're to make use of the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines, as applicable.

6. When 3 sides are given, the Law of Cosines can be used to find the angles. For example, angle A can be found from ...

  A = arccos((b² +c² -a²)/(2bc))

  A = arccos((8² +10² -15²)/(2·8·10)) = arccos(-61/160) = 112.4°

The other angles can be found by permuting the variables appropriately.

  B = arccos((225 +100 -64)/(2·15·10) = arccos(261/300) ≈ 29.5°

The third angle can be found as the supplement to the other two.

  C = 180° -112.411° -29.541° = 38.048° ≈ 38.0°

The angles (A, B, C) are about (112.4°, 29.5°, 38.0°).

__

7. When insufficient information is given for the Law of Cosines, the Law of Sines can be useful. It tells us side lengths are proportional to the sine of the opposite angle. With two angles, we can find the third, and with any side length, we can then find the other side lengths.

  C = 180° -A -B = 145°

  a = c(sin(A)/sin(C)) = 400·sin(15°)/sin(145°) ≈ 180.49

  b = c(sin(B)/sin(C)) = 400·sin(20°)/sin(145°) ≈ 238.52

The measures (a, b, C) are about (180.5, 238.5, 145°).

Please help with this, tysm ​
Sauron [17]
You just find out what the missing variable is by subtracting 88 from 107 on the first one. You do the same for the last too as-well, but just insert the numbers that they say.

Happy Friday!!
