<u>Note: The only way to solve this problem is by adjusting the fees to $3.50 and $7.50.</u>
Answer:
<em>1300 children attended the basketball game</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
System of Equations
Let's call:
x = number of children attending the basketball game
y = number of adults attending the basketball game
On a certain night, 1500 people enter the game, thus:
x + y = 1500 [1]
Since each admission fee for children cost $3.50 and $7.50 for adults and it was collected $6050, thus:
3.50x + 7.50y = 6050 [2]
From [1]:
y = 1500 - x
Substituting in [2]:
3.50x + 7.50(1500 - x) = 6050
Operating:
3.50x + 11250 - 7.50 = 6050
-4x = 6050 - 11250
Solving:
x = 1300
1300 children attended the basketball game
Perimeter is the sum of all a shapes sides.
with that in mind, we know a rectangle has four sides. with 2 pairs being the same.
The length as told is, 5 centimeters less than two times the width. Two times the width would be 2w and five less than that would be minus five. so the length is 2w - 5
now to find the perimeter we do two times the width + two times the length.
2w + 2(2w -5) = 80.
Distribute: 2w + 4w - 10 = 80
Add ten to both sides and combine the 2w & 4w:
6w = 90
Divide both sides by 6: w = 15.
with this we know the width is 15. to find length plug in 15 to the 2w - 5 equation.
2(15) - 5 = 30 - 5 = 25.
Slap on the units and width = 15 cm, length = 25 cm
Answer:
19 - 2 = x The X will be 17
I have x candy, but my friend only have 2 candy which is less than me, but our total is 19 candy. How many candy do I have?
You could make similar story if you want to. But the X is 17.
