Answer:

d = 1.46 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by obtaining the relationship between the force (F) and the distance (d). This can be obtained as follow:

From the question given above,

F is inversely proportional to square of d. This can be written as:

F ∝ 1/d²

F = K/d²

Cross multiply

K = Fd²

But:

Force (F) = 0.006 N

Distance (d) = 4 m

Constant (K) =?

K = Fd²

K = 0.006 × 4²

K = 0.006 × 16

K = 0.096 Nm²

Therefore, the relationship between the force (F) and the distance (d) is:

F = K/d²

F = 0.096 / d²

Finally, we shall determine the distance when the force is 0.045 N. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 0.045 N

Constant (K) = 0.096 Nm²

Distance (d) =?

F = K/d²

0.045 = 0.096 / d²

Cross multiply

0.045 × d² = 0.096

Divide both side by 0.045

d² = 0.096 / 0.045

Take the square root of both side.

d = √(0.096 / 0.045)

d = 1.46 m.

We know: The total number of tickets is 35. Another way of saying this is the number of adults plus the number of children equals 35. i.e.:

$Adults+Children=35$

Using the symbols provided we can write this is as:

$a+c=35$

We also know: The total money collected is $75. We know that $6 was collected for every adult or $6a$ and $1 for every child or $1c$ . i.e.:

$(SixDollars \times Adults)+(OneDollar \ times Children)= $70$

Using the symbols provided and adding it all up we can write this is as:

$6a+1c=70$

Equation 1: $a+c=35$
Equation 2: $6a+c=70$
