Hello,
Let's r the ration
We suppose x ≠0
x=r*(x-2)==>r=x/(x-2)
x+3=r*x==> (x+3)/x=x/(x-2)==>(x+3)(x-2)=x²
==>x²+3x-2x-6=x² ==>x-6=0==>x=6
x-2=6-4=4
x=6
x+3=6+3=9
6=4*3/2
9=6*3/2
Ration 3/2
First term: 4
Well, if you take x to be 25 seconds, there are 2.4x in 1min. So, that multiplied by 60, would be 144x. Therefore, 1/4 multiplied by 144x should be the answer.
Adult ticket (a) = $5
Child ticket (c) = $2
785 tickets = $3280
a + c = 785 tickets
5a + 2c = $3280
c = 215 child tickets
a = 570 adult tickets
570 + 215 = 785 tickets
5(570) + 2(215) = $3280
There were 215 child tickets sold on Saturday
4(x+2)+2=14
4x+8+2=14
4x+10=14
Subtract 10 from both sides
4x=4
Divide by 4 on both sides
x=1
