Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Number of children = x = 59

Number of Adults = y = 166

On a certain hot​ summer's day, 225 people used the public swimming pool.

x + y = 225

x = 225 - y

The daily prices are $1.75 for children and $2.00 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled $435.25.

$1.75 × x + $2.00 × y = $435.25

1.75x + 2y = 435.25

We substitute 225 - y for x

Hence:

1.75(225 - y ) + 2y = 435.25

393.75 - 1.75y + 2y = 435.25

Collect like terms

-1.75y + 2y = 435.25 - 393.75

0.25y = 41.5

y = 41.5/0.25

y = 166 Adults

Note that:

x = 225 - y

x = 225 - 166

x = 59 children

Hence, the number of children is 59 and the number of Adults is 166

mash [69]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

It suffices to equate any two sides and then check whether the solution is valid for the third side.

Taking 2x and 3x-4 and equating:

2x = 3x-4

x = 4

This means the sides are both of length 8. Now check whether for x=4 the third side is also of length 8:

x+4=4+4=8

which indeed works out confirming x=4 being a valid solution
