Answer:
C) 24 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the number of adults and C be the number of children.
If a ticket costs $8 per adult, we can express this as 8A
If a ticket costs $5 per child, we can express this as 5C
Combining the two expressions, we can write 8A+5C=272 as our first equation since the total amount of money collected is $272.
Our second equation would be A+C=40 since there are 40 people.
Now, we can take the second equation and write it as C=40-A so we can substitute the value of C into the first equation as 40-A so we only have to deal with one variable, the amount of adults that went to the theater.
The first equation now becomes 8A+5(40-A)=272 and is much easier to solve:
8A+5(40-A)=272
8A+200-5A=272
3A+200=272
3A=72
A=24
Therefore, there are 24 adults

Answer:
Choice B: BD/DA = CE/EA
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is rise over run. For the two slopes to be equal, the rise over run of the two triangles must be equal.
The rise over run for triangle ABD is BD/DA.
The rise over run of triangle ACE is CE/EA.
For the slopes to be equal, BD/DA = CE/EA
Answer: Choice B.
Answer:
The missing variable
Step-by-step explanation:
D=2
2t/5=8t/20 (both numbers multiplied by 4)
t/4=5t/20 (both numbers multiplied by 5)
3=60/20
⇒ 8t/20 - 5t/20= 60/20
3t/20=60/20
⇒3t=60
t=60:3
t=20
I hope you understand !
