Answer:
The price of 1 adult ticket is 12 dollars, and the price of a ticket for one student is 7 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a system of equations for the two days that the play was shown.
Let x = the price of an adult ticket
Let y = the price of a student ticket
For the first day:
<h3>9x+8y=164</h3>
For the second day:
<h3>2x+7y=73</h3>
Now, we can solve using the elimination method. Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 9. Then swap the order of the equations.
<h3>18x+63y= 657</h3><h3>-</h3><h3>18x+16y= 328</h3><h3>0x+ 47y= 329</h3><h3>divide both sides by 47</h3><h3>y = 7</h3><h3>Plug in 7 for y for the 2nd equation</h3><h3>2x+7(7)=73</h3><h3>2x+49=73</h3><h3>subtract 49 from both sides</h3><h3>2x= 24</h3><h3>divide both sides by 2</h3><h3>x = 12 </h3><h3>Check:</h3><h3>2(12)+7(7)=73</h3><h3>24+49= 73!</h3>
............................
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
x = 10
The answer is 873 hope this will help you.
