Adult tickets to a play cost $22.00 Tickets for children cost $15.00. Tickets for a group of 11 people cost a total of $228.00.

Write and solve a system of equations to find how many children and how many adults were in the group.
Here is the set up:

Let x represent the number of adults
Let y represent the number of children

x + y = 11 (only 11 people were in the group )
22x + 15y = 228 ( This is the equation that deals with money )

Now you finish it.

Answer:

The answer to your question is 9 adults and 2 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

adult ticket = $22

children ticket = $15

Total people= 11

total cost = $228

Number of adults = x = ?

Number of children = y = ?

Process

1.- Write equation to solve the problem

              x + y = 11                           Equation l

           22x + 15y = 228                  Equation ll

-Solve Equation l by x

              x = 11 - y                            Equation lll

-Substitute equation lll in equation ll

          22(11 - y) + 15y = 228

-Solve for y

         242 - 22y + 15y = 228

-Simplify like terms

                -7y = 228 - 242

                -7y = -14

                   y = -14/-7

                  y = 2

-Find x

              x = 11 - 2

              x = 9

2.- Conclusion

There were 9 adults and 2 children.

Answer:

  (3, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want the solution to the system ...

  • 2x−3y=3
  • x=y+2

The second equation gives a nice expression for x, so we can use that in the first equation.

  2(y+2) -3y = 3 . . . . substitute for x in the first equation

  2y +4 -3y = 3 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  -y = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 4

  y = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by -1

  x = 1 +2 = 3 . . . . . . substitute for y in the second equation

The solution is (x, y) = (3, 1).

Which shows another way to write 64?
Taya2010 [7]

None of those show another way to 64

6*6*6*6=1296

4*4*4*4*4*4=4096

6+6+6+6=24

6*4=24

Another way to show 64 is 8*8 or 4^3

Elena receives ​$131 per year in simple interest from three investments totaling ​$3000. Part is invested at​ 3%, part at​ 4% an
ioda

Answer:

Elena invested $ 1,700 at 5%, $ 700 at 4%, and $ 600 at 3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Elena receives $ 131 per year in simple interest from three investments totaling $ 3000, and part is invested at 3%, part at 4% and part at 5%, and there is $ 1000 more invested at 5% than at 4%, to find the amount invested at each rate, the following calculations must be performed:

1500 x 0.05 + 500 x 0.04 + 1000 x 0.03 = 75 + 20 + 30 = 125

1600 x 0.05 + 600 x 0.04 + 800 x 0.03 = 80 + 24 + 24 = 128

1700 x 0.05 + 700 x 0.04 + 600 x 0.03 = 85 + 28 + 18 = 131

Therefore, Elena invested $ 1,700 at 5%, $ 700 at 4%, and $ 600 at 3%

A 236 inch board is cut into two pieces. one piece is three times the length of the other. find the length of the two pieces
kirill [66]

let length of one piece = x

length of other piece = 236-x

one piece is three times the length of the other

x=3(236-x)

x=708-3x

4x=708

x=177

so first piece is 177 inches long and second piece is (236-177)= 59 inches long
