A group of 3 adults and 5 children pay a total of 52$ for movie tickets

Mathematics
1 answer:
Paladinen [302]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  • $9 adult
  • $5 child

Step-by-step explanation:

Letting "a" and "c" represent the costs of adult tickets and child tickets, the problem statement gives us two relations:

  3a +5c = 52

  2a +4c = 38

__

We can solve this system of equations using "elimination" as follows:

Dividing the first equation by 2 we get

  a +2c = 19

Multiplying this by 3 and subtracting the first equation eliminates the "a" variable and tells us the price of a child ticket:

  3(a +2c) -(3a +4c) = 3(19) -(52)

  c = 5 . . . . . . collect terms

  a +2·5 = 19 . . substitute for c in the 3rd equation above

  a = 9 . . . . . . subtract 10

One adult ticket costs $9; one child ticket costs $5.

3x -2y = -6 and y = x+5
sweet [91]

Answer:

x = 4, y = 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x -2y = -6 and y = x+5

Substitute y = x + 5 in the first equation:

3x - 2(x + 5) = -6

3x - 2x - 10 = -6

x = -6 + 10

x = 4

So y = 4 + 5 = 9.
