Answer:
The price of 1 adult ticket is 12 dollars, and the price of a ticket for one student is 7 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a system of equations for the two days that the play was shown.
Let x = the price of an adult ticket
Let y = the price of a student ticket
For the first day:
<h3>9x+8y=164</h3>
For the second day:
<h3>2x+7y=73</h3>
Now, we can solve using the elimination method. Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 9. Then swap the order of the equations.
<h3>18x+63y= 657</h3><h3>-</h3><h3>18x+16y= 328</h3><h3>0x+ 47y= 329</h3><h3>divide both sides by 47</h3><h3>y = 7</h3><h3>Plug in 7 for y for the 2nd equation</h3><h3>2x+7(7)=73</h3><h3>2x+49=73</h3><h3>subtract 49 from both sides</h3><h3>2x= 24</h3><h3>divide both sides by 2</h3><h3>x = 12 </h3><h3>Check:</h3><h3>2(12)+7(7)=73</h3><h3>24+49= 73!</h3>
Answer:
Restate the question
Step-by-step explanation:
12 girls out of 19, how many out of 76
12 - x
19 - 76
Cross product:
19x= 1152
/19. /19
x= ~61
There are (around) 61 girls
X=2
2x-3=-x+3
add three to both sides
add 1x to each side
should be left with 3x=6
divide both sides by 3 to get x alone
your answer then is x=2
Answer:
