Answer:

175 adults

360 senior citizens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of senior citizens

There were a total of 535 people, so

(535-x)=total number of adults

Total receipts=$8,355

Adult payments+Senior payments=$8,355

21(535-x)+13x=$8,355

$11,235-21x+13x=$8,355

$11,235-8x=$8,355

-8x=$-2,880

x=360 senior citizens

Number of adults=535-360=175 adults

To check, just substitute...

21(175)+13(360)

3,675+4,680

Which equals.....

$8,355

If (x, 9) is a solution to 5x - 2y = 12, what is the value of x ?
lina2011 [118]
X= 6


Explanation:

y=9 so rewrite the equation like this:


5x-2(9)=12

Multiply -2 by 9:


5x-18=12

Cancel out the -18:


5x-18=12
+18 +18


5x=30


Divide both numbers by 5:


5x/5 = 30/5


As an answer, you will get x=6:

Hope this helped:)
