At a Basketball Game, adult tickets are 5$ and children's tickets are 2$. If 175 tickets were sold for 686$ in total. How many of each type of ticket were sold

112 tickets for adults and 63 tickets for children

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we can solve it using a 2x2 system of equations, like this:

let x: adult's tickets

let y: children's tickets

SW:

5 * x + 2 * y = 686

 x + y = 175 => x = 175 - y

Replacing, we are left with that:

5 * (175 - y) + 2 * y = 686

875 - 5 * y + 2 * y = 686

- 5 * y + 2 * y = 686 - 875

-3 * y = -189

y = -189 / -3

y = 63

Now to calculate x:

x = 175 - 63

x = 112

It means that there were 112 tickets for adults and 63 tickets for children

you half the rectangle that you ae asking about so then you would see the scale factor of 1/2 the one u have selected, the one on top is half.
