Answer:

Price of a senior citizen ticket is $4 and price of a student ticket is $15 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the price a senior citizen ticket be x .

Let us assume that the price a student citizen ticket be y .

As given

The school that Jack goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance.

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 9 senior citizen tickets and 8 student tickets for a total of $156.

Equtaions becomes

9x + 8y = 156

As given

The school took in $163 on the second day by selling 7 senior citizen tickets and 9 student tickets.

Equations becomes

7x + 9y = 163

Multipy 9x + 8y = 156 by 9 .

81x + 72y = 1404

Multiply 7x + 9y = 163  by 8 .

56x + 72y = 1304

Subtracted 56x + 72y = 1304 from 81x + 72y = 1404 .

81x - 56x + 72y - 72y = 1404 - 1304

25x = 100

x = \frac{100}{25}

x = $ 4

Putting value of x in the 56x + 72y = 1304 .

56 × 4 + 72y = 1304

224 + 72y = 1304

72y  = 1304 - 224

72y = 1080

y = \frac{1080}{72}

y = $15

Therefore the price of a senior citizen ticket is $4 and price of a student ticket is $15 .

What is the solution set for the following system of equations 5x-3y-10=0 x+y-7=0
garik1379 [7]

(x, y) = ( \frac{31}{8}, \frac{25}{8})

given the 2 equations

5x - 3y - 10 = 0 → (1)

x + y - 7 = 0 → (2)

rearrange (2) to obtain y in terms of x

y = 7 - x → (3)

Substitute y = 7 - x into (1)

5x - 3(7 - x) - 10 = 0

5x - 21 + 3x - 10 = 0

8x - 31 = 0 ( add 31 to both sides )

8x = 31 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = \frac{31}{8}

Substitute this value into (3) for y

y = 7 - x = \frac{56}{8} - \frac{31}{8} = \frac{25}{8}
