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

The correct answer is C. Sample survey

Help please i don’t know how to do it
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

x + 3y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Line is passing through the points (3, \:4) = (x_1,\:y_1)\:and\: (9, 2)=(x_2,\:y_2)

Slope of line (m)= (2 - 4)/(9 - 3) = -2/6 = -1/3

Equation of line in point-slope form is given as:

y-y_1 =m(x-x_1)

Plugging the values of x_1,\: y_1\: and \: m in the above equation we find:

y-4 =-\frac{1}{3}(x-3)

\implies 3y-12 =-x+3

\implies x+ 3y =12+3

\implies \huge {\orange{\boxed{x+ 3y = 15}}}

This is the required equation of line in the form \red{\bold{ax + by = c}}
