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.

To describe a sequence of transformations that maps triangle ABC onto triangle a"b"c", a student starts with a reflection over t
Paha777 [63]

i dont quite get the question but...

i guess this is how it is.

Take the mirror image of∆ABC Through the a line through the point y=3.

The new ∆ABC would have point C=(4,2)

B=(3,-6) A=(1,-3)

Now shifting the ∆ABC one unit (<em>i.e. 2 acc. to the graph as scale is 1 unit =2</em>) towards right ( or <em>adding 2 to the x coordinates of ∆ABC)</em>

We get the Coordinates of triangle ABC as A=(3,-3) B=(5,-6) C=(6,2).

This coordinate is the same coordinates of ∆A"B"C".

Hope it helps...

Regards;

Leukonov/Olegion.

Write an equation of the line that passes through (18, 2) and is parallel to the line 3y−x=−12
rodikova [14]

First isolate the "y" in the equation.

2y - x = -12 Add x on both sides

2y - x + x = -12 + x

2y = -12 + x   Divide 2 on both sides to get "y" by itself

y = \frac{-12 +x}{2}

y = -6 + \frac{x}{2}

Your slope is \frac{1}{2}.

For the equation of the line to be parallel to the given equation, the slopes have to be the same. So the parallel line's slope is also \frac{1}{2}

y = mx + b

y = \frac{1}{2}x + b

To find "b", you plug in the point (18,2) into the equation

y = \frac{1}{2}x + b

2 = \frac{1}{2}(18) + b

2 = 9 + b Subtract 9 on both sides

2 - 9 = 9 - 9 + b

-7 = b


Your equation is:

y =\frac{1}{2}x - 7
