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.

Solve this equation<br>-2(4-7)+5(4+7)​
gayaneshka [121]

You can simplify this expression with PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction)

Start with the expressions in the parentheses:

4-7=-3

4+7=11

The expression now reads -2(-3)+5(11).  Now, simplify the multiplication expressions:

-2*-3=6

5*11=55

The expression is 6+55 which is 61.

Hope this helps!!
