Answer:
y=2x+6 ; x+y=51
Step-by-step explanation:
assuming x is one number and y is the other -
one number (y) is 6 more (+6) than twice another (2x) -
using that knowledge we form an equation -
y=2x+6
the sum (x+y) is 51
using this knowledge we can make the equation -
x+y=51
now you have -
y=2x+6 or 2x-y=-6
x+y=51
using system of equations -
you add the equations -
3x=45
x=15
y=51-x => y=36
hope this helps!!
Answer:
2x^2+56x
Step-by-step explanation:
1 ÷ 0 is undefined. nothing can be divided by 0.
Set x as adult tickets.
Set y as children's tickets.
x + y = 15
30x + 20y = 270
Solve for x in the first equation.
x + y = 15
x = 15 - y
Plug this into the second equation.
30x + 20y = 270
30(15 - y) + 20y = 270
450 - 30y + 20y = 270
450 - 10y = 270
-10y = -180
y = 18
If there is 18 childrens tickets, there should be -3 adult tickets.
This is impossible, and this impossible answer occured because the question is written wrong.
There are a total of 15 tickets
The smallest costing ticket is the childrens ticket, which costs 20$.
If he only bought children tickets, this would be 20x15 which is 300$.
300$ is over 270$, which makes the question impossible.
