The gas cost 35 dollars and the water cost 15 dollars
X=41 Just S=ubract The 4 from 37 Then Subract X From X And Divide The Whole Thing By -1
Answer: An adult’s ticket costs $9 while a children’s ticket costs $5.
Step-by-step explanation:
1). 2x + 3y = 33
2). 5x + 2y = 55
3). I’m going to use substitution.
Isolate a variable (x):
2x + 3y = 33
2x = -3y + 33
X = (-3y + 33)/2
X = -3/2y + 33/2
Substitute and solve for y:
5x + 2y = 55
5(-3/2y + 33/2) + 2y = 55
-15/2y + 165/2 + 2y = 55
-11/2y = -55/2
Y = 5 <— children’s ticket.
Solve for x:
2x + 3y = 33
2x + 3(5) = 33
2x + 15 = 33
2x = 18
X = 9 <— adult’s ticket.
Check:
5x + 2y = 55
5(9) + 2(5) = 55
45 + 10 = 55
55 = 55
2x + 3y = 33
2(9) + 3(5) = 33
18 + 15 = 33
33 = 33
