Let x be the distance east. The distance south is x + 4. Using the Pythagorean theorem, x² + (x+4)² = 225 (15²). Solving gives x ≈ 9 km, so he walked 9 km east .

Let a represent adult tickets and s represent student tickets. The equations are a + s = 750 and 2.5a + s = 1200. Solving these equations gives s = 600, so 600 students attended the concert .

Let the breadth be b. Then the length is b + 4, and the diagonal is 9, so (b+4)² + b² = 81. Solving gives b = 5 cm and length = 9 cm. The area is 5 × 9 = 45 sq. cm and the perimeter is 2(5+9) = 28 cm .

Let x be the number of 2-cent coins and y be the number of 5-cent coins. The equations are x + y = 40 (total coins) and 0.02x + 0.05y = 1.55 (total value). Solving these gives y = 25 and x = 15, meaning 15 are 2-cent coins and 25 are 5-cent coins .

Let x and y be the numbers. The equations are x + y = 15 and x - y = 4. Solving gives x = 9.5 and y = 5.5, so the numbers are 9.5 and 5.5 .

Let x represent the number of pages in the first part. Then the second part would have x + 64 pages. The sum of both parts is 1382. Solving x + (x + 64) = 1382 gives 2x + 64 = 1382, then 2x = 1318, resulting in x = 659. Therefore, the first part has 659 pages and the second has 723 pages .

Let x be the measure of the smaller angle. The larger angle would then be 10x + 48. Since the angles are supplementary, x + 10x + 48 = 180. Simplifying gives 11x + 48 = 180, and then 11x = 132, resulting in x = 12. Thus, the smaller angle is 12 degrees and the larger is 132 degrees .

Let the length be l and the width be w. The equations are 2l + 2w = 64 (perimeter) and l² + w² = 900 (diagonal squared). Solving l + w = 32 and using the second equation gives (l, w) = (18, 14) or (14, 18). The area is 18 × 14 = 252 sq. cm .

Let the first-year salary be x. Then the total for four years is x + (x+800) + (x+1600) + (x+2400) = 24800. Simplifying gives 4x + 4800 = 24800, leading to 4x = 20000, and x = 5000. His first-year salary was $5,000 .

Let x be the daughter’s current age. Then the man’s age is x + 30. Ten years ago, their ages were x - 10 and x + 20, respectively. Because he was four times her age then, x + 20 = 4(x - 10), solving gives x = 20, meaning the daughter is 20 and the man is 50 .
