Answer:

52 adults and 42 children attended the concert

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total attendees=94 people

Adults tickets=$2.5

Children tickets=$1.75

Total receipts=$203.5

Let adults=a

Children=c

a+c=94 (1)

2.5a + 1.75c=203.5 (2)

From (1)

a+c=94

a=94-c

Substitute a=94-c into (2)

2.5a + 1.75c=203.5

2.5(94-c) + 1.75c=203.5

235-2.5c+1.75c=203.5

-0.75c=203.5-235

-0.75c=-31.5

Divide both sides by -0.75

-0.75c/-0.75=-31.5/-0.75

c=42

Substitute c=42 into (1)

a+c=94

a+42=94

a=94-42

=52

a=52

Therefore,

52 adults and 42 children attended the concert

X+y=3 and x-ý=<br>x1 simultaneous equation<br>

pshichka [43]

Answer:

y=1, x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=3

x-y=1

Using elimination method

x-x+y--y=3-1

2y= 2

y=1

Substitute y=1 into equation 2

x-1=1

x=1+1

x=2

A scale drawing of a door is 2 cm high. If the scale is 1 cm = 4 meters, what is the actual height of the door?

Vanyuwa [196]

2*4= 8 meters

You could multiply every centimeter by the scale of 4 because 1 cm= 4 meters.

I hope this helps!

Use triangle ABC drawn below & only the sides labeled. Find the side of length AB in terms of side a, side b & angle C o

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

$AB = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2-2abCos\ C}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The above triangle

Required

Solve for AB in terms of a, b and angle C

Considering right angled triangle BOC where O is the point between b-x and x

From BOC, we have that:

$Sin\ C = \frac{h}{a}$

Make h the subject:

$h = aSin\ C$

Also, in BOC (Using Pythagoras)

$a^2 = h^2 + x^2$

Make $x^2$ the subject

$x^2 = a^2 - h^2$

Substitute $aSin\ C$ for h

$x^2 = a^2 - h^2$ becomes

$x^2 = a^2 - (aSin\ C)^2$

$x^2 = a^2 - a^2Sin^2\ C$

Factorize

$x^2 = a^2 (1 - Sin^2\ C)$

In trigonometry:

$Cos^2C = 1-Sin^2C$

So, we have that:

$x^2 = a^2 Cos^2\ C$

Take square roots of both sides

$x= aCos\ C$

In triangle BOA, applying Pythagoras theorem, we have that:

$AB^2 = h^2 + (b-x)^2$

Open bracket

$AB^2 = h^2 + b^2-2bx+x^2$

Substitute $x= aCos\ C$ and $h = aSin\ C$ in $AB^2 = h^2 + b^2-2bx+x^2$

$AB^2 = h^2 + b^2-2bx+x^2$

$AB^2 = (aSin\ C)^2 + b^2-2b(aCos\ C)+(aCos\ C)^2$

Open Bracket

$AB^2 = a^2Sin^2\ C + b^2-2abCos\ C+a^2Cos^2\ C$

Reorder

$AB^2 = a^2Sin^2\ C +a^2Cos^2\ C + b^2-2abCos\ C$

Factorize:

$AB^2 = a^2(Sin^2\ C +Cos^2\ C) + b^2-2abCos\ C$

In trigonometry:

$Sin^2C + Cos^2 = 1$

So, we have that:

$AB^2 = a^2 * 1 + b^2-2abCos\ C$

$AB^2 = a^2 + b^2-2abCos\ C$

Take square roots of both sides

$AB = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2-2abCos\ C}$
