    complete question:

    5. At a recent Bach concert, total ticket sales were $1,629 Adult tickets cost $9.00 and youth tickets cost $6.00. The number of adult tickets sold was sixteen more than three times the number of youth tickets. How many of each were sold?

    Answer:

    5.

    number of adult ticket sold = 151

    number of youth ticket sold = 45

    6.

    area of the garden = 60ft²

    perimeter of the garden = 40 ft

    length of hypotenuse = 17 ft

    length of the other leg = 15 ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    5.

    Total ticket sold = $1,629

    let

    number of adult ticket sold = a

    number of youth ticket sold = b

    a = 3b + 16

    a - 3b = 16 ... (i)

    Total sales

    9a + 6b = 1629 ... (ii)

    Combine the equations

    a - 3b = 16 ... (i)

    9a + 6b = 1629 ... (ii)

    make a subject of the formula in equation (i)

    a = 16 + 3b

    Insert the value of a in equation (ii)

    9 (16 + 3b) + 6b = 1629

    144 + 27b + 6b = 1629

    33b = 1629 - 144

    33b = 1485

    b = 1485/33

    b = 45

    Insert the value of b in equation (i)

    a - 3b = 16 ... (i)

    a - 3 (45) = 16

    a - 135 = 16

    a = 16 + 135

    a = 151

    6.

    The garden is in the shape of a right angle triangle. one leg is 8 ft.

    let

    a = 8 ft

    b = x ft

    c = (x + 2) ft

    Using Pythagoras theorem

    a² + b² = c²

    8² + x² = (x + 2) ²

    64 + x² = (x + 2) (x + 2)

    64 + x² = x² + 2x + 2x + 4

    64 + x² = x² + 4x + 4

    64 = 4x + 4

    60 = 4x

    x = 60/4

    x = 15

    Therefore,

    a = 8 ft

    b = 15 ft

    c = 17 ft

    Perimeter of the triangle = 8 ft + 15 ft + 17 ft = 40 ft

    Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height

    Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 8 * 15

    Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 120

    Area of the triangle = 120/2

    Area of the triangle = 60 ft²
