The answer is $25.
x - the price of an adult ticket
y - the price of a child ticket
The Jones <span>paid $74 for 2 adults and 2 children: 2x + 2y = 74
The Tuckers paid </span><span>$86 for 2 adults and 3 children: 2x + 3y = 86
This is the system of two equations:
</span>2x + 2y = 74
2x + 3y = 86
____
Multiply the first one by (-1)
2x * (-1) + 2y * (-1) = 74 * (-1)
2x + 3y = 86
____
-2x - 2y = -74
2x + 3y = 86
____
Sum the equations:
2x - 2x + 3y - 2y = 86 - 74
y = 12
____
Substitute y in the first equation to find x:
2x + 2 * 12 = 74
2x + 24 = 74
2x = 74 - 24
2x = 50
x = 50/2
x = 25
So, the price of the adult ticket is $25 and the price of the child ticket is $12.
Answer:
(2,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
On the 40th and the 80th you will receive both a free beverage and a free appetizer. You can find this by simply finding the multiples of both number up to 100 (or a little more than 100) to find out on which dates you'd get bothe an appetizer and beverage for free. Here are the multiples of both, to prove this answer.
- 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104.
- 10: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100.
Thus making 40 and 80 the answers. I hope this helps!
Answer:A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 5.18
Step-by-step explanation:
replace x in the equation with 3.5
y = -0.72x + 7.7
y = -0.72(3.5) + 7.7
y = -2.52 + 7.7
y = 5.18
