Let a and c represent, respectively, the price of an adult and a child ticket. We know that

\begin{cases}3a+2c=78.94\\2a+3c=75.86\end{cases}

Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2 to get

\begin{cases}9a+6c=236.82\\4a+6c=151.72\end{cases}

Subtract the two equations to have

5a=85.1 \iff a=17.02

Plug this value in the first equation to get

3\cdot 17.02+2c=78.94\iff 2c=27.88\iff c=13.94

If the probability of flipping heads is 0.70, the probability of flipping tails is 0.30. 

To find probability, you multiply the probability of each factor together:

P = 0.7  * 0.3 

P = 0.21 <em>or</em>

If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new equation after the expression equivalen
jolli1 [7]
First, you need to isolate the x in the first equation. 
-x + 5y = 1
Subtract 5y from both sides, leaving you with the following equation: 
-x = 1-5y
Because you are trying to solve for positive x and not negative x, you need to make x positive. Therefore you divide both sides by -1. In Algebra, when 1 is the coefficient of the variable, it is not shown, but it is still there. The new equation will be the following: x = 5y-1
Now you just need to substitute the x within the second equation for the x equation we just solved for. 

Therefore, the right answer will be 2(5y-1)+4y= -4. Now, all you have to do is choose the answer that states exactly that, which is the first choice.
