Just choose x = 0,1,2,3 and find y for each x, for each of the tables.
Answer:
Adult=1,385.71
Children=814.29
Approximately
Adult=1386
Children=814
Step-by-step explanation:
c= number of children
a= number of adults
Admission fee for children=$4.50
Admission fee for adults=$8.00
Total attendees=2200
Total amount realized=$5050
We need two equations to solve the two unknowns
c + a=2200 (1)
4.50c + 8.00a=5,050 (2)
From (1)
c + a=2200
c=2200 - a
Substitute c=2200 - a into (2)
4.50c + 8.00a=5,050
4.50(2200 - a) + 8.00a=5050
9900 - 4.50a +8.00a=5050
Collect like terms
9900-5050= -4.50a+8.00a
4,850=3.5a
Divide both sides by 3.5
1,385.71=a
Substitute a=1,385,71 into (1)
c + a=2200
c+1385.71=2200
c=2200-1385.71
=814.29
c=814.29

Answer:
2x+x-8
Step-by-step explanation:
Kevin is 2x-8
Nancy is x
2x-8+x
When you have ratios, and some unknowns, you can create complex fractions from them. Bring them to the same denominator, and solve for x.
Example - we have this proportion:
2-x
5-45
And we can change it into fraction:
\frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{45}
\frac{2*9}{5*9}=\frac{x}{45}
\frac{18}{45}=\frac{x}{45}
18=x
In case of more complex fractions it may come in handy.
