Answer:Number of children = 2 and number of adults = 9 attended the play

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let the  number  of children be represented as  x

and the number of adults in the group  be represented as  as y

such that the total number of the group that went to the play

= x+y=11--- equation 1

And the total cost paid for the play will be expressed as

15x+  22y= 228------ equation 2

Step 2-- Solving

x+y=11--- equation 1

15x+  22y= 228------ equation 2

B y elimination method, multiply equation 1 by 15 to give equation 3  and then subtract from equation 2

15x+  22y= 228------ equation 2

15x+15Y= 165----- equation 3

7y=63

y= 63/7= 9

y= adults = 9

therefore x = number of children will be

x+y=11

x+ 9=11

x= 11-9= 2

In the group that attended the play,  Number of children = 2 and number of adults = 9

The Thrill amusement park charges an entry fee of $40 and an additional $5 per ride, x. The Splash water park charges an entry f
seropon [69]
Answer: The two equations are:
y = 5x + 40
y = 3x + 60

In each problem, you are given the cost per ride. That is the slope, it goes in front of the x. 

Then, you are also given the entry fee. That is the y-intercept, it goes at the end of the equation.

Now, the equations are in slope intercept form. Y = MX + B

Graphing the equations will give an answer of (10, 90)
This means for both plans 10 rides will cost $90.

Tristan is working on dilating rectangles. Rectangle ABCD is dilated by a factor of 3. The resulting rectangle WXYZ has an area
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Tristan is correct, because he needs to find the possible dimensions for rectangle WXYZ and then divide each dimension by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle ABCD is dilated by a factor of 3 to get the rectangle WXYZ whose area is found to be 72 cm².

Let the dimensions of the dilated rectangle WXYZ are a cm by b cm.

So, ab = 72 ........... (1)

Now, the dimensions of the original rectangle are 3 times lesser than the dimensions of rectangle WXYZ.

So, the area of rectangle ABCD will be (\frac{a}{3} \times \frac{b}{3}) = \frac{ab}{9} = \frac{72}{9} = 8 cm² {from equation (1)}

Therefore, Tristan is correct, because he needs to find the possible dimensions for rectangle WXYZ and then divide each dimension by 3. (Answer)
