Answer: he purchased 16 ride tickets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of ride tickets that he purchased.
Let y represent the number of game tickets that he purchased.
Levi purchased a total of 50 ride tickets and game tickets at the amusement park. It means that
x + y = 50
If ride tickets cost $.75 each and game tickets cost $.50 each and the total amount spent on the tickets is $29, it means that
0.75x + 0.5y = 29- - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes
0.75(50 - y) + 0.5y = 29
37.5 - 0.75y + 0.5y = 29
- 0.75y + 0.5y = 29 - 37.5
- 0.25y = - 8.5
y = - 8.5/-0.25
y = 34
x = 50 - y = 50 - 34
x = 16
The answer is 36

60 miles per hour. In two miles the sum of the distance the two trains traveled was 200 miles, you divide that by 2, the sum of the speed of the two trains is 100 miles per hour, now put the speed of the slow train as x and the fast as x +20, the sum of x and x +20 is 100, so 2x + 20 =100, you subtract 20 from both sides, 2x = 80, divide by 2, x = 40, the problem asks for the speed of the fast train, so, x + 20 is 60.
