Assign variables to the groups. "S" stands for senior citizens and "C" stands for children. 


3S + 9C = 75

8S + 5C = 67

We must cancel one of these variables out; I did this by multiplying the top equation by 8 and the bottom equation by 3.

24S + 72C = 600
24S + 15C = 201

Subtract these two expressions and you get C = 7. Plug 7 in for C into any of the above expressions and solve for S. You will find that S = 4.

Solve for x 4.5 (8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5 (3x + 24)
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

expand

simplify 36 - 4.5x + 36 to -4.5x + 72

simplify 102 - 7.5x - 60 to -7.5x + 42

add 7.5x to both sides

simplify -4.5x + 72 + 7.5x to 3x + 72

subtract 72 from both sides

simplify 42 - 72 to -30

divide both sides by 3

simplify 30/3 to 10

Answer: x = -10
