Answer:

An adult ticket is 17

A childs ticket costs 12 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = adult price

c = child price

3a + 4c = 99

2a + 3c = 70

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(3a + 4c) = 99*2

6a + 8c = 198

Multiply the second equation by -3

-3 (2a + 3c) = 70*-3

-6a -9c = -210

Add these new equations together

6a + 8c = 198

-6a -9c = -210

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

     -c = -12

Multiply by -1

        c = 12

A childs ticket costs 12 dollars

Now we need to find the price of an adult ticket

2a + 3c = 70

2a + 3(12) = 70

2a +36 = 70

Subtract 36 from each side

2a +36-36 =70-36

2a = 34

Divide by 2

2a/2 = 34/2

a = 17

An adult ticket is 17

Answer as many as you can please (write in slope-intercept form)
RoseWind [281]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one, we are already given our slope. All we need to do is find the y-intercept, b.

y=-2x+b

6=-2(-3)+b

6=6+b

b=0

The slope-intercept form is y=-2x.

For the second one, we need to first find the slope using m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }.

m=\frac{1-13}{3-(-6)} =\frac{-12}{9}

Now that we have our slope, we can plug it into our slope-intercept form to solve for b.

y=-\frac{12}{9} x+b

3=-\frac{12}{9}(1)+b

-\frac{9}{4} =b

The slope-intercept form is y=-\frac{12}{9} -\frac{9}{4}.

For the third one, we are already given the slope, so all we have to do is find b.

y=-\frac{1}{2}x +b

-7=-\frac{1}{2} (-4)+b

-7=2+b

-9=b

The slope-intercept form is y=-\frac{1}{2} x-9.

For the last one, we need to first find the slope using m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }.

m=\frac{-8-2}{3-1}=\frac{-10}{2}  =-5

Now that we have our slope, we can plug it into our slope-intercept form and find b.

y=-5x+b

2=-5(1)+b

2=-5+b

7=b

Our slope-intercept form is y=-5x+7.
