Option 1)
6a + 8s = 102
14a + 4s = 150
each adult ticket costs 9 dollars
===================================================
Explanation:
6 adult tickets and 8 student tickets bring in $102, so that means 6a+8s = 102
14 adult tickets and 4 students tickets bring in $150, so 14a+4s = 150
The system of equations is
If we multiply both sides of the second equation by -2, we get this updated system
Add the equations straight down
6a+(-28a) = -22a
8s+(-8s) = 0s = 0 ... the 's' terms go away
102+(-300) = -198
So we end up with the equation -22a = -198 and that solves to a = 9 after dividing both sides by -22.
Each adult ticket costs $9
If you want the value of s, then
6a+8s = 102
6(9)+8s = 102
54 + 8s = 102
8s = 102-54
8s = 48
s = 48/8
s = 6
Meaning each student ticket costs $6
Or you could use the other equation
14a+4s = 150
14(9)+4s = 150
126+4s = 150
4s = 150-126
4s = 24
s = 24/4
s = 6
We get the same value of s
Answer: 3x+8y=100
x+y=20
x=12
y=8
Step-by-step explanation: x would represent the number of multiple choice questions and y would represent the number of short response questions. the multiple choice questions were 3 points meaning that you need to find x. the short answer response questions were 8 points meaning you need to find y. altogether you need to get 100 points. for the second equation you have 20 questions that need to be both multiple choice and short response. therefore the second equation would be x+y=20. if you solved this, the answer would be that x equals 12 and y equals 8. hope this helped! :))
So,
We'll just use A to represent both Jan and Mya's miles, since they ran the same number.
We have the equations:
1. Jan (J) = Mya (M)
2. Sara (S) = M - 8
3. 2A + S = 64
J = M
S = M - 8
We'll just use A to represent both J and M.
S = M - 8
We'll use Elimination by Substitution.
2A + A - 8 = 64
Collect Like Terms
3A - 8 = 64
Add 8 to both sides
3A = 72
Divide both sides by 3
A = 24
Since
A = J
and
A = M
and
J = M
then
J = 24
M = 24
Substitute
S = 24 - 8
S = 16
Check
24 + 24 + 16 = 64
64 = 64 This checks.
So,
J = 24
M = 24
S = 16
