substitute x for y-1
2(y-1)-y=6 distribute
2y-2-y=6 subtract y in 2y
y-2=6 add 2 to get y by itself
y=8
Put y back into equation x=y-1
x=8-1
X=7
12 times 6 is 72.
We find this by adding 12+12+12+12+12+12
24+24+24
48+24
72
This is another way to get to our answer.
Let children be x
Adult be y
5.10x+9.40y=1184.20 ... 1
x+y=158 ... 2
From 1// 510x+940y=118420 ... 3
From 2// y=158-x ... 4
Sub 4 into 3
510x+940(158-x)= 118420
510x+148520-940x=118420
-430x= -30100
x=70
As we know that children are x, 70 children tickets were sold.
