Answer:

22 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

A towing company charges $50 plus $4 per mile

let the number of miles be x

the expression for the charges for x miles y is given as

y= 50+4x

for y= 138

138= 50+4x

138-50= 4x

88= 4x

x= 88/4

x= 22 miles

Hence the distance is 22 miles

At the movie theatre, child admission is $6.30 and adult admission is $9.60 . On saturday, twice as many adult tickets as child
joja [24]

Let's assume

number of child tickets sold on saturday is x

number of adult tickets sold on saturday is y

On saturday, twice as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold

so, we get

y=2x

child admission is $6.30 and adult admission is $9.60

a total sales of $535.50

we get

6.30x+9.60y=535.50

now, we can plug y=2x

6.30x+9.60*2x=535.50

now, we can solve for x

25.5x=535.5

x=21

now, we can find y

y=2*21

y=42

so,

number of child tickets sold on saturday is 21

number of adult tickets sold on saturday is 42.........Answer

A box has a perimeter of 27 1/2 ft. if the lenght is 9 ft. what is the area?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Perimeter = (Length x 2) + (Width x 2)

27.5 = (9 x 2) + (Width x 2)

27.5 = 18 + (Width x 2)

9.5 = (Width x 2)

4.75 = Width

check:

27.5 = (9 x 2) + (4.75 x 2)

27.5 = 18 + 9.5

27.5 = 27.5

Since the width is 4.75 and the length is 9, we can multiply the two to get the area. 4.75 x 9 = 42.75 sq. ft.
