Answer:

  x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Using your number sense, you recognize that a fraction equivalent to 2/5 that has 4 in the numerator is 4/10. This tells you x = 10.

__

The usual instructions for solving this algebraically are to "cross multiply", then divide by the coefficient of x.

  2/5 = 4/x . . . . given

  2x = 20 . . . . . multiply by 5x on both sides

  x = 10 . . . . . . . divide by 2

__

You can do the above two steps both at once: multiply by 5/2x.

  (2/5)(5/2x) = (4/x)(5/2x)

  x = 20/2 = 10

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

(5 , 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = the number of adult tickets

let c = the number of children tickets

then we have to solve the following system

a + c = 12

14.5a + 9c = 135.5

we proceed by Substitution:

              c = 12 - a

14.5a + 9c = 135.5

After some calculations we find

a=5 and c=7
