Answer:

  x = 6.0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the given dimensions is 2.5/6.5 = 5/13. This should give you a clue that the dimensions here are all half those of the (5, 12, 13) Pythagorean triple. That is, ...

  x = 12/2 = 6 . . . cm

__

In case you haven't memorized a few of the Pythagorean triples commonly used in algebra problems*, you can figure x using the Pythagorean theorem:

  6.5² = 2.5² +x²

  42.25 -6.25 = x²

  x = √36 = 6

  x = 6.0 cm

_____

* most commonly seen are (3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 40, 41) and their multiples.

Ivahew [28]

Answer: Children tickets cost 7.50

Adult tickets cost 12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent adult tickets

Let c represent child tickets

On the first day she sells 6 adult tickets and 5 children tickets for total of 112.50. This can be written as:

6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i

On the second day she sells 8 adult tickets and 4 children tickets for the total 130. This can be written as:

8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii

6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i

8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 4

Multiply equation ii by 5

24a + 20c = 450 ........ equation iii

40a + 20c = 650 ......... equation iv

Subtract iii from iv

16a = 200

a = 200/16

a = 12.50

Adult tickets cost 12.50

From equation ii,

8a + 4c = 130

8(12.50) + 4c = 130

100 + 4c = 130

4c = 130 - 100

4c = 30

c = 30/4

c = 7.50

Children tickets cost 7.50
