Answer:

The adult and the child ticket are both 8 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

x =adult ticket price

y = child ticket price

I will assume you forget to put that they sold 2 child tickets on the second day

7x+5y=96 and 3x+2y= 40

I will use elimination.  Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by -5 to eliminate y

2(7x+5y)=96*2

14x + 10y = 192

The second equation

-5(3x+2y)= 40*-5

-15x -10y = -200

Add the equations together

14x + 10y = 192

-15x -10y = -200

------------------------

-x = -8

Multiply by -1

x = 8

Now we need to find y

3x+2y= 40

3(8) +2y = 40

24+2y = 40

Subtract 24 from each side

24-24 +2y = 40-24

2y = 16

Divide by 2

2y/2 =16/2

y =8

The adult and the child ticket are both 8 dollars

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1\ can = 2.2m^2

Required

Determine the number of cans for the wall

The dimension of the wall is not given. So, I will use the following assumed values:

Length=20m

Width = 44m

First, calculate the area of the wall

Area = Length * Width

Area = 20m * 44m

Area = 880m^2

If 1\ can = 2.2m^2

Then x = 880m^2

Cross Multiply:

x * 2.2m^2 = 1 * 880m^2

x * 2.2m^2 = 880m^2

x * 2.2 = 880

Make x the subject

x = \frac{880}{2.2}

x = 400

400 cans using the assume dimensions.

So, all you need to to is, get the original values and follow the same steps
