C + a = 132.....a = 132 - c
5.10c + 9.60a = 898.20
5.10c + 9.60(132 - c) = 898.20
5.10c + 1267.20 - 9.60c = 898.20
5.10c - 9.60c = 898.20 - 1267.20
-4.50c = - 369
c = -369/-4.50
c = 82 <=== child tickets sold
Answer is 12
Reason
Combine like terms
3x + 99 x = 1224
102x = 1224
Now solve for x
Divide both sides by 102
x= 12
To find the slope, we put this in y = mx + b form where m is ur slope.
3x - 4y = 7.....subtract 3x from both sides
-4y = -3x + 7 ...now we divide both sides by -4
(-4/-4)y = (-3/-4)x + (-7/4)...simplify
y = 3/4x - 7/4
y = mx + b
y = 3/4x - 7/4.....so the number in the m position is 3/4 <== ur slope
If 80% are women, then 20% are men
20% of what equals 880
0.20x = 880
x = 880/.20
x = 4400
check..
men : 20% of 4400 = 0.20(400) = 880
women : 80% of 4400 = 0.80(4400) = 3520
totaling : 3520 + 880 = 4400
so there are a total of 4400 workers
The answer is √58 = 7.62
So, if you draw this down, you will see that the direct distance is hypotenuse c of a right triangle which sides are 3 blocks (1 south and 2 north) and 7 blocks (4 west and 3 east).
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
c² = a² + b²
a = 3
b = 7
c² = 3² + 7²
c² = 9 + 49
c² = 58
c = √58
c = 7.62
