Answer:

132 children and 88 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the amount of kids and y represent the amount of adults.

since the problem says there was a total of 220 people at the fair an equation can be made

x+y=220

the problem tells that each childrens ticket was 1.5$ and each adult ticket was $4 and that a total of $550 was made that day, we can use the knowledge to make an equation:

1.5x + 4y = 550

using the equations we can make this systems of equations:

1.5x + 4y =550

x + y =220

solve the systems of equations by subracting y on both sides of th bottom equation:

x=220-y

since x is equivant to 220-y it can be substitued for x in the first equation to make this:

1.5(220-y)+4y =550

--solve for y--

y=88  - there were 88 adults

substute 88 for y in the second equation

x+88=220

--solve for x--

x=138 - there were 132 children

What is the first step in proving that the sum of the measures of triangle XYZ is 180 degrees?
mylen [45]
In geometry, the definition of a triangle is a two-dimensional closed figure with three sides. Aside from this, it is proven that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. This is a triangle's innate property. Therefore, any closed shape with three sides is a triangle and it follows that the sum of the three angles is equal to 180°.

It is logical therefore, that the first step in proving this is by using the definition of a triangle.
