Answer:
237
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a system of equations.
The theater sold 364 adult and child tickets, so a + c = 364
They made a total of $1930. Each adult ticket was $6 & child tickets were $4. The second equation is 6a + 4c = 1930.
Let's line them up
a + c = 364
6a + 4c = 1930
Since we need to solve for the number of adult tickets, we want to get rid of the c variable. I'm going to multiply the entire first equation by -4 to do this. The second equation stays the same. Now, I have:
-4a - 4c = -1456
6a + 4c = 1930 Add them together
----------------------
2a = 474 Divide by 2 to solve for a
a = 237
There were 237 adult tickets sold
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question that uses the Pythagorean Theorem.
a = 35 feet
b = x which is the height of the tree.
c = 3*x + 1 so we are trying to find x. Substitute into a b and c
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
35^2 + x^2 = (3x + 1)^2
35^2 + x^2 = 9x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract x^2 from both sides.
35^2 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract 35^2 from both sides.
0 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 - 35^2
0 = 8x^2 + 6x - 1224
Does this factor?
(x + 12.75)(x - 12)
x - 12 = 0 is the only value that works.
x = 12
The tree is 12 feet high.
Note: I used the quadratic formula to solve this.
E Value of the Expression a. 50 times the sum of 64 and 36. 50 x(64+36)
