First what we gonna do is solve for y.
x+5y=28 Subtract 5y both sides.
-5y -5y
x=-5y+28 Then you have to replace x with the equation.
2(-5y+28)+3y=21 Multiply.
-10y+56+3y=21 Combine like terms and subtract 56 both sides.
-56 -56
-7y=-35 Divide -7 both sides.
y=5 Simplify.
x=-5(5)+28 Multiply and add.
x=-25+28
x=3
Heres your answer x=3 and y=5.

The Ford family decides they want to go see a movie at the local movie theater. The family consists of two adults, and five chil

Brrunno [24]

Ford Family consists of:

a) 2 adults

The price of ticket for each adult is $18.55. This can be approximated to $19 if we round it to nearest dollar. So the price of ticket for 2 adults will be 2 x 19 = $38

b) 3 children between ages 2 and 10.

Ticket for each child between ages 2 - 10 is $12.59 which can be approximated to $13. So ticket price for 3 children will be 3 x 13 = $39

c) 2 children below the age of 2.

Ticket price for each child is $6.54 which can approximated as $7. So ticket price for 2 children will be 2 x 7 = $14

The estimated total amount due on the family equals = 38 + 39 + 14 = $91

In each of the 3 cases we rounded up the values. So this means the actual amount must be slightly lesser than $91. The actual bill was $87.95 which is close to $91 and lesser than it. Hence we can conclude that $87.95 is the correct amount due for Ford Family.
