Answer:

  $7.30

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement gives rise to two equations:

  • 3a +2c = 33.50
  • 1a +4c = 30.50

If we double the first equation and subtract the second, we have ...

  2(3a +2c) -(1a +4c) = 2(33.50) -(30.50)

  5a = 36.50 . . . . simplify

  a = 7.30 . . . . . . .divide by 5

The cost of one adult ticket is $7.30.

of the following options, what could be a possible first step in solving the equation 8x 3 = 2x − 15? adding 8x to both sides of
sesenic [268]
Adding 15 to both sides. In order to get it to the opposite side of the equal sign, you must do its opposite. You can't add 8x to both sides, because the opposite of positive 8x is negative 8x and that's not what they're asking. The opposite of negative 15 is positive 15, so it works. Opposite of positive 3 is negative three, and they're wanting a positive, so it will not work. Adding 2x wouldn't work, because it's already positive..
