A youth club held a pancake breakfast to raise money for a trip. Tickets were $3 for children and $5.50 for adults. If 263 tickets were sold and the group took in $1,254, find the number of adults and the number of children that attended the breakfast.

77 children and 186 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

After a LONG time testing out numbers, I finally found two numbers. What I did was used the equation 3x + 5.5y = 1254. I kept filling in two numbers that can add to 263. For example, I filled in the variables with 77 and 186. Like this: 3(77) + 5.5(186) = 1254. 77 times 3 equals 231 and 186 times 5.5 equals 1023. Add those two numbers together to get 1254. So, there were 77 children and 186 adults.

the equation for this situation is y=122+45. to solve the equation you would add 45 and 122 to get a total of 167lbs. in conclusion, grace's weight eight weeks ago was 167lbs.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
