Answer:

The number of adult tickets are 57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of tickets = 156

Total money = $1077.60

Solution,

Let the number of adult be x and of child be y .

So, Total number of tickets = Number of adults + Number of child

\therefore x+y = 156\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Now, according to question;

Total money = Number\ of\ adults\times admission\ fee + Number\ of\ child\times admission\ fee

\therefore x\times 9.70+y\times 5.30 = 1077.60\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 2

On multiplying by 10 on both side, we get;

97x+53y=10776\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 3

Now multiplying equation 1 by 53 then subtract it from equation 3, we get;

(x+y)\times53 = 156\times53\\53x+53y=8268\\(97x+53y=10776)-(53x+53y=8268)\\44x=2508\\x=\frac{2508}{44} =57

Since x is the  number of adults,

Number of adults=57

Number of child = y = 156-57=99

Thus the number of adult tickets are 57.

What is the equation of the following line? Be sure to scroll down first to see all answer options.
Harrizon [31]
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Hence, the equation of line is:

y= -6x

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

Clearly from the graph we could see that the line passes through the point (0,0) and (-1/2,3).

Also we know that the equation of a line passing through (a,b) and (c,d) is given as:

y-b=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}\times (x-a)

Here we have:

(a,b)=(0,0) and (c,d)=(-1/2,3)

Hence, the equation of line is:

y-0=\dfrac{3-0}{-\dfrac{1}{2}-0}\times (x-0)\\\\\\\\y=\dfrac{3}{\dfrac{-1}{2}}\times x\\\\y=3\times (-2)\times x\\\\y=-6x

Hence, the equation of line is:

y= -6x
