Answer:

108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets  were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult ticket $8  Call the number of adult tickets sold "a"

Student ticket $5  Call the number of student tickets sold "s"

Since we are talking about TWO consecutive days of sold out seats, the total number of seats sold were 2* 142 = 284

Then we create two different equations with the information given:

a + s = 284

8 * a + 5 * s = 1948

we can solve for s in the first equation as follows: s = 284 - a

and use it in the second equation

8 a + 5 (284 - a) = 1948

8 a + 1420 - 5 a = 1948

combining

3 a = 528

a = 528/3

a = 176

we find the number of student tickets using this answer in the substitution equation we used:

s - 284 - 176 = 108

Therefore 108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets were sold.

There was a triangle ABC with sides 15, 20, and 10. One of the sides of a triangle, which is similiar to ABC is 60. What are the
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The possible pairs of sides are 90 and 120, 30 and 45, and 80 and 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 60 is a multiple of 15, 20, and 30, so we multiply by each factor to find all possible pairs: 10x6=60, 20x6=120, and 15x6=90, that gives your first pair, <u>90 and 120</u>.

We have now multiplied our first factor, 6. Now we need to multiply our second factor, 3: 20x3=60, 15x3=45, and 10x3=30. That gives your second pair, <u>30 and 45</u>.

Finally, we need to multiply by our 3rd factor, 4: 15x4=60, 20x4=80, and 10x4=40. That gives you your final possible pair, <u>80 and 40</u>.

I hope this helps :-)
