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.

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).
Mashcka [7]

Multiplying eqn no. two with 4 we add it up with eqn 1.

4x - 5y = 10 \\  - 4x - 12y = 32 \\

- 17y = 42 \\ y =  \frac{ - 42}{17}

When

- x - 8 = 3y \\ x + 3y =  - 8

x =  - 8 -  3 \frac{ - 42}{17 }  \\ x =  - 8 +  \frac{42}{17}  \\ x =   \frac{ - 10}{17}

So, x = - 10/17 and y = - 42/17.
