Answer:

68 adult tickets and 40 child tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where a is the number of adult tickets sold and c is the number of child tickets sold:

8a + 5c = 744

a = 2c - 12

Solve by substitution by substituting the second equation into the first one:

8(2c - 12) + 5c = 744

16c - 96 + 5c = 744

21c - 96 = 744

21c = 840

c = 40

So, 40 child tickets were sold. Plug this into the second equation to solve for a:

a = 2c - 12

a = 2(40) - 12

a = 80 - 12

a = 68

So, 68 adult tickets and 40 child tickets were sold.

Question 2 (Essay Worth 10 points)
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Sam is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagorean Theorem, we can find the length of diagonal SQ as 13.4 (6^2 + 12^2 = c^2, 36 + 144 = c^2, sqrt(180) = c, c is approx 13.4). We can do the same for diagonal OM (6^2 + 6^2 = c^2, 36 + 36 = c^2, 72 = c^2, sqrt(72) = c, c is approx 8.5). Sam is therefore incorrect because 13.4 is not double of 8.5.
