Answer:

<u>375 Adult Tickets.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we can simply set up an equation using variable <em>x </em>in place of the unknown student/adult tickets.

x = # of <u>adult</u> tickets sold

x + 65 = # of <u>student</u> tickets sold.

1) x + x + 65 = 815 (set both ticket amounts equal to the total)

2) 2x + 65 = 815 (added common variables together)

3) 2x = 750 (negated the +65, subtracted it from both sides)

4) x = 375 (divided both sides by 2)

5) 815 - 375 = 440 (subtracted the x from the total number of <u>adult</u> tickets, to recieve the amount of <u>childrens</u>' tickets.

Therefore,

Since there were fewer adult tickets sold (-65), 375 is the number of adult tickets, and 440 is the number of student tickets.

Miranda enlarged a picture twice as shown below, each time using a scale factor of 3.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The area of the second enlargement is 1,944 square inches

The area of the second enlargement is (3 squared) squared times the original area.

The ratio of the area of the first enlargement to the area of the original equals the square of the scale factor

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Verify each statement</em></u>

1) The area of the first enlargement is 72 square inches.

The statement is false

Because

we know that

The original dimensions of the rectangle are

length 6 inches and width 4 inches

so

First enlargement

Multiply the original dimensions by a scale factor of 3

Length: 6(3)=18\ inches\\Width: 4(3)=12\ inches

The area of the first enlargement is

18(12)=216\ in^2

2) The area of the second enlargement is 1,944 square inches

The statement is true

Multiply the dimensions of the first enlargement by a scale factor of 3

Length: 18(3)=54\ inches\\Width: 12(3)=36\ inches

The area of the second enlargement is

54(36)=1,944\ in^2

3) The area of the second enlargement is (3 squared) squared times the original area.

The statement is true

Because

The original area is 24 square inches

[(3^2)]^2(24)=1,944\ in^2

4) The area of the second enlargement is 3 times the area of the first enlargement

The statement is false

Because

3(216)=648\ in^2

so

648\ in^2 \neq 1,944\ in^2

5) The ratio of the area of the first enlargement to the area of the original equals the square of the scale factor

The statement is true

Because

The square of the scale factor is 3^2=9

and the ratio is equal to

\frac{216}{24}=9

Answer:

3y = 60°, 2y = 40° ,     4x = 104°, x = 26°, y = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle g

180° = 80° + 3y + 2y

100° = 5y

y = 20°

Triangle h

y = 180° - 130°

y = 50°

180° = 4x + x + 50°

130° = 5x

x = 130 / 5

x = 26°
