Answer:

They sold 30 adult tickets and 50 kids tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of adult tickets sold

y is the number of kids tickets sold.

80 tickets are sold

This means that x + y = 80, or also, x = 80 - y

For a Saturday matinee, adult tickets cost $7.50 and kids under 12 pay only $6.00. Tickets were sold for a total of $525.

This means that:

7.5x + 6y = 525

Since x = 80 - y

7.5(80 - y) + 6y = 525

600 - 7.5y + 6y = 525

1.5y = 75

y = \frac{75}{1.5} = 50

x = 80 - y = 80 - 50 = 30

They sold 30 adult tickets and 50 kids tickets.

Which step in the construction of copying a line segment ensures that the new line segment has
Nesterboy [21]

The steps 5 and 6 in the construction of a new line segment  ensures the lengths are equal.

A line segment in geometry has two different points on it that define its boundaries. Alternatively, we may define a line segment as a section of a line that joins two points.

Below are the steps for copying a line segment:

  • 1. Let's begin with a line segment we need to copy, AB.
  • 2. we take a point C at this stage. That will be one endpoint of the new line section, either below or above AB.
  • 3. Now we place the the compass pointer on the point A of line segment  AB.
  • 4. We spread the compass out until point B, making sure that its breadth corresponds to the length of AB.
  • 5. We place the compass tip on the point C created in step 2 without adjusting the compass's width.
  • 6. We now draw a rough arc without adjusting the compass's settings. we add a point D oh the arc . The new line segment will be formed by this.
  • 7. From C, draw a line to D;CD thus formed is equal to AB.

Hence steps 5 and 6 are the steps in the construction of a new line segment which ensures the lengths are equal.
