Answer: the system of equations are
3x + 2y = 170
4x + 6y = 360
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the price of a child's ticket in dollars.
Let y represent the price of an adult's ticket in dollars.
The Brown family paid 170 for 3 children and 2 adults. This would be expressed as
3x + 2y = 170
The Peckham family paid 360 for 4 children and 6 adults. This would be expressed as
4x + 6y = 360
Let the side of one square be x. Area = x*x = x²
Then the side of other square would be 2x , Area = 2x*2x = 4x²
Combined area = x² + 4x² = 5x²
This combined area = 45 cm²
Therefore 5x² = 45 Divide both sides by 5
x² = 45/5
x² = 9 Take square root of both sides
x = √9
x = 3
Length of larger square is 2x = 2*3 = 6 cm
Length of larger square = 6cm
The original price was 65
