1 answer:
Answer:
6 combinations
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x----> the number of adult tickets
y---> the number of a child tickets
we know that
5x+3y=100 ----> linear equation that represent the situation
y=-(5/3)x+(100/3)
The maximum number of adult tickets is 20 (20*$5=$100)
The maximum number of a child tickets is 33 (33*$3=$99)
Construct a table for different values of x and find the values of y
The possible combinations will be pairs of whole numbers
see the attached table
The solution is 6 combinations

The x-intercept is the point where the graph cuts the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where the graph cuts the y-axis.
The x-axis is the line y = 0 and the y-axis is the line x = 0. To find the intercept between each axis and our graph, we just need to evaluate our function at x = 0 and y = 0.
Calculating the x-intercept, we have
The x-intercept is (8, 0).
Calculating the y-intercept, we have
The y-intercept is (0, -2).
