Response: Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can set up the equation as 14^2=9^2+x^2
-9^2 -9^2
Thus, our equation simplifies to
x^2=14^2-9^2
Y = 6
Here’s a step-by-step explanation:
On the initial day of ticket sales, the school sold 3 adult tickets and 8 student tickets for a total of $72.
On the following day, the school collected $152 from 7 adult tickets and 16 student tickets.
What is the price of a student ticket?
Day 1: 3x + 8y = 72
Day 2: 7x + 16y = 152
This leads to a system of equations.
By manipulating these equations, we find:
Ultimately, y = 6.
If you wish to continue from this point, substituting y into the equation will give the value for x.
