The best scale factor to make use of every inch of the paper would be that 1 inch represents 7.5 feet.
Answer:
We get value of y: y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The points (3,5) and (2, y) are on a line with a slope of 3. Find y.
We can find y using formula of finding slope of a line.
The formula is: 
We have 
and Slope = 3
Putting values and finding y
So, we get value of y: y = 2
|-5| is equivalent to 5, since that is how far -5 is from 0.
So, the question is simplified to: How far away is -5 from 5?
We get 5-(-5)=10.
Remember, absolute value is always positive (expect for 0) and the distance between two numbers is always positive (expect for 0).
We have similar triangles so
12/x = (12+78)/(x+13)
We can skip some algebra by doing the ratio on the pieces. We'll show it works at the end.
12/x = 78/13
x = 12(13)/78 = 2
We check
12/2 = 6
(12+78)/(2+13) = 90/15 = 6, good
Answer: x=2
60 children tickets and 190 adult tickets were sold.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let the no. of adult tickets sold be 'a'
Let the no. of children tickets sold be 'c'
Total tickets sold = 250
Cost of 1 children ticket = $2.5
Cost of 1 adult ticket = $4
Total money collected= $910
Given that,
a + c = 250
a = 250 - c
4a + 2.5c = 910
Substitute a value
4(250 - c) + 2.5c = 910
1000 - 4c + 2.5c = 910
1000 - 1.5c = 910
-1. 5c = -90
1.5c = 90
c = 90/1.5
c = 60
a + c = 250
a + 60 = 250
a = 190
60 children tickets and 190 adult tickets were sold.
