A school sells 712 tickets for a talent show. Adult tickets cost $8 each, and children's tickets cost $4 each. A total of $4,256

is collected
from ticket sales. Which system of equations can be used to determine the number of adult tickets sold, x, and the number of children's
tickets sold, y?
O A. x + y = 712
4x + 8y = 4,256
OB. x + y = 712
8x + 4y = 4,256
C. X + 8y = 712
x + 4y = 4,256
OD. 8x + y = 712
4x + y = 4,256

Answer:

B

x + y = 712

8x + 4y = 4,256

Step-by-step explanation:

If x=the amount of adult tickets, and y=the amount of children's tickets, then the total amount of tickets (712) should be x+y. Our first equation: x+y=712

The total made from adult tickets is found by multiplying the amount of tickets by the price per ticket: 8x. The total made from children's tickets is found by multiplying the amount of tickets by the price per ticket: 4y.The total amount of money made (4256) is the sum of the amount made by adult tickets (8x) and the amount made by children's tickets (4y). Our second equation: 8x+4y=4256

Kathy is fencing in her yard that has an area of 800 square feet. Her yard is in the shape of a rectangle where the length is 60
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The dimensions of the yard are W=20ft and L=40ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be:

W: width of the yard.

L:length.

Now, we can write the equation of that relates length and width:

L=5W-60 (Equation #1)

The area of the yard can be expressed as (using equation #1 into #2):

Area=W*L=W*(5W-60) (Equation #2)

Since the Area of the yard is 800 ft^2, then equation #2 turns into:

800=W*(5W-60)

Now, we rearrange this equation:  

800=W*(5W-60)//800=5W^2-60W//5W^2-60W-800=0

We can divide the equation by 5 :

W^2-12W-160=0

We need to find the solution for this quadratic. Let's find the factors of 160 that multiplied yields -160 and added yields -12. Let's choose -20 and 8, since (-20)*8=160 and -20+8=-12. The equation factorised looks like this:

(W-20)(W+8)=0

Therefore the possible solutions are W=20 and W=-8. We discard W=-8 since width must be a positive number. To find the length, we substitute the value of W in equation #1:

5*20-60=40

Therefore, the dimensions of the yard are W=20ft and L=40ft.
