Answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The area would be length times width. x(4x+8) =96
4x^2+8x = 96
4x^2+8x-96=0. We need to factor.
It would be factored to (4x-16)(x+6) = 0
x would be -6 (x+6=0)
or x would be 4 (4x-16=0)
Why would the width be negative?!? So the answer is 4
Answer:
324
Step-by-step explanation:
Total tickets sold = 800
Total revenue = $3775
Ticket costs:
$3 per child,
$8 per adult,
$5 per senior citizen.
Of those who bought tickets, let
x = number of children
y = number of adults
z = senior citizens
Therefore
x + y + z = 800 (1)
3x + 8y + 5z = 3775 (2)
Twice as many children's tickets were sold as adults. Therefore
x = 2y (3)
Substitute (3) into (1) and (2).
2y + y + z = 800, or
3y + z = 800, or
z = 800 - 3y (4)
3(2y) + 8y + 5z = 3775, or
14y + 5z = 3775 (5)
Substtute (4) nto (5).
14y + 5(800 - 3y) = 3775
-y = -225
y = 225
From (4), obtain
z = 800 - 3y = 125
From (3), obtain
x = 2y = 450
Answer:
The number of tickets sold was:
450 children,
225 adults,
125 senior citizens.
Distribute the 5 to the (2+y). Parenthisis always come first. after that combine the 5y and the -y. you should end up with 2-(+4y) +2. add the -2 and +2. you should be left with 4y
So kind man so kinda dude
