Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have three people
jamal = x (since im guessing hes the youngest)
wesley= x+1
John= x+2
the formula you would use is x+x+1+x+2=108
when you simplify that you get 3X+3=108
you subtract the 3 from 108 which leaves you with 3X=105
divide that by 3 which makes x=35
so
jamal is 35
wesley is 36
john is 37
Answer:
470 is your awnser
Step-by-step explanation:
The two equations are

and

the first equation can be solved for x to be

next you can substitute x in the second equation

Distribute 4 to everything in the parentheses

combine like terms:

subtract 28 from both sides of the equation

divide both sides by -1.5

plug this in to the original equation of x+y=7

subtract 4 from both sides.

Final Answer: they bought 3 adult tickets and 4 student tickets
