No actually you can just multiply both sides of the equation by 2 and get y-4=20. then add 4 to both sides to get y=24.
Answer: the price for an adult ticket is $3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the price of one adult ticket.
Let y represent the price of one child ticket.
The Martinez family went to play and paid $13 for 1 adult and 4 children. This means that
x + 4y = 13 - - - - - - - - - - -1
The Hernandez family went to the same place and paid $14 for 3 adults and 2 children. This means that
3x + 2y = 14 - - - -- - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 3 by 1, it becomes
3x + 12y = 39
3x + 2y = 14
Subtracting, it becomes
10y = 25
y = 25/10 = 2.5
Substituting y = 2.5 into equation 1, it becomes
x + 4 × 2.5 = 13
x + 10 = 13
x = 13 - 10
x = 3

Answer:
Hotdog: $3.00
Hamburger: $4.00
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first time that Bob buys food, we can make an equation to find how much a single hotdog and a single hamburger costs, where:
x = cost of a hotdog
y = cost of a hamburger
He bought 2 hotdogs and 1 hamburger for $10, so the equation for his first time buying food is:
2x + y = 10
For the second time buying food, he bought 1 hotdog and 3 hamburgers for $15, so his equation would be:
x + 3y = 15
To find the value for x and y we need to solve this system of equations using the two equations we just came up with. We can do this multiple ways, but I'll be demonstrating the substitution method.
Using the second equation, we can solve for x by simply subtracting 3y from both sides:
x = 15 - 3y
We can then insert this value of x into the first equation so that way we are only dealing with one variable to solve - y:
2(15-3y) + y = 10
Distribute out the 2 into the paratheses, combine like terms, and then solve for y:
30 - 6y + y = 10
30 - 5y = 10
-5y = -20
y = 4
This means the cost for one hamburger is $4. But we still need to find the price of one hotdog, so we can insert this value of y into the equation we came up with earlier for x, and then solve for x:
x = 15 - 3y
x = 15 - 3(4)
x = 15 - 12
x = 3
So the price of one hotdog is $3 and the price of one hamburger is $4. Hope this helps.
