Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price for children and adults package be represented with x and y respectively.

For the first week the sum of the package will be as follows:

3x+8y = 126

For the two weeks after:

6x+4y= 108

So, we will be having two equations

3x+8y = 126..... (1)

6x+4y= 108.......(2)

These are simultaneous equations

From equation 1

3x+8y = 126

3x = 126-8y

X = 126-8y/3 ............. (3)

Put equation 3 into 2

6 ( 126-8y)/3 +4y = 108

756-48y/3 +4y = 108

756-48y+12y/3 = 108

Cross multiplying

756-48y+12y= 108×3

756-48y+ 12y = 324

Collecting like terms

756-324 = 48y-12y

432= 36y

Divide both sides by 36

432/36 = 36y/36

y= 12

Substituting y into equation 1

3x+8= 126

3x+96=126

3x= 126-96

3x= 30

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 30/3

x = 10

Hence for each of the packages for children and adults. It will be 10 and 12 respectively.

“Solve the equation. Determine if it is undefined or not.”
lozanna [386]

Answer:  a) No Solution

               b) Infinite Solutions  (All Real Numbers)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

4(g + 8) = 7 + 4g

4g + 32 = 7 + 4g      <em>distributed 4 into g + 8</em>

        32 = 7             <em> subtracted 4g from both sides</em>

Since the statement is false because 32 ≠ 7, then there is NO SOLUTION

-4(-5h - 4) = 2(10h + 8)

20h + 16  = 20h + 16       <em>distributed</em>

           16  =           16        <em>subtracted 20h from both sides</em>

Since the statement is true because 16 = 16, then there are INFINITE SOLUTIONS so x can be all real numbers.
