This question is super easy, all you need to do is isolate the y variable. When you want to isolate it, you have to get rid of other numbers by doing the opposite sign.
x+2y=8 Subtract the x.
2y=8-x Divide by two.
y=4-1/2x
Y=2x2−8x+5 is standard form
The answer to your question is 72 inches.
Answer:
You can use grouping, quantity and value to solve this question.
Child admission = $5.50
Adult admission = $8.90
Friday sales (Quantity):
Child = x
Adult = 4x
Total sales = 5x
Friday sales (Value):
Child = $5.50
Adult = 4 × $8.90
= $35.60
Total sales = $986.40
1 group = $5.50 + $35.60
= $41.10
Number of groups = $986.40 ÷ $41.10
= 24
The number of child tickets sold is 24.
