Answer:
<em>Henson: 3x + y = 163</em>
<em>Garcia: 2x + 3y = 174</em>
<em>adult ticket price: $45</em>
<em>child ticket price: $28</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Henson Family:
3 adults + 1 child; total $163
3x + y = 163
Garcia Family:
2 adults + 3 children; total $174
2x + 3y = 174
Now we solve the system of equations.
Solve the first equation (Henson Family) for y.
y = 163 - 3x
Substitute 163 - 3x for y in the second equation (Garcia Family).
2x + 3<em>y</em> = 174
2x + 3(<em>163 - 3x</em>) = 174
2x + 489 - 9x = 174
-7x + 489 = 174
-7x = -315
x = 45
Now substitute 45 for x in the first original equation and solve for y.
3x + y = 163
3(45) + y = 163
135 + y = 163
y = 28
adult ticket price: $45
child ticket price: $28
Bring like terms together
(REMEMBER CHANGE THE SIGN WHEN MOVING ACROSS THE EQUAL SIGN i.e. - becomes + and + becomes -)
4x - 2x = 7 - 3
2x = 4
divide both sides by 2
x = 2
The answer is C, 20/3g as quotient refers to the answer of a division problem.
Answer:
40,000 workers
Step-by-step explanation:
This question deals with simple rates proportion.
If it takes 20 years for X workers to complete a job,
if we double the amount of workers, we will take half the time.
hence to halve the time from 20 years to 10 years, we will need to double the amount of workers.
In this case we will need 20,000 workers x 2 = 40,000 workers
