System of Equations

For the problem to solve we'll use the following variables:

x = number of the early bird tickets sold

y = number of the regular tickets sold

Haley sold a total of 20 tickets, thus:

x + y = 20 [1]

Early bird tickets cost $10 and regular tickets cost $15, thus the total money collected is:

10x + 15y = 225

Dividing by 5:

2x + 3y = 45 [2]

We have to solve the system of equations [1] and [2].

Multiply [1] by -2:

-2x - 2y = -40 [3]

Add [3] to [2]:

-2x - 2y +2x + 3y = -40 + 45

Simplifying:

y = 5

Substituting in [1]:

x + 5 = 20

Subtracting 5:

x = 20 - 5

x = 15

Solution: Hayley sold 15 early bird tickets and 5 regular-priced tickets

The order pair solution is (15,5)

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

average= \frac{sum of scores}{number of tests}

80= \frac{79+81+77+x}{4}

80 x 4 = 79+81+77+x

320=237  + x

320-237 = x

83=x

so Marianne must score 83 points or higher on her last test

2. At the local park, there is an annual fair that
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

132 children and 88 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the amount of kids and y represent the amount of adults.

since the problem says there was a total of 220 people at the fair an equation can be made

x+y=220

the problem tells that each childrens ticket was 1.5$ and each adult ticket was $4 and that a total of $550 was made that day, we can use the knowledge to make an equation:

1.5x + 4y = 550

using the equations we can make this systems of equations:

1.5x + 4y =550

x + y =220

solve the systems of equations by subracting y on both sides of th bottom equation:

x=220-y

since x is equivant to 220-y it can be substitued for x in the first equation to make this:

1.5(220-y)+4y =550

--solve for y--

y=88  - there were 88 adults

substute 88 for y in the second equation

x+88=220

--solve for x--

x=138 - there were 132 children
