Answer:

<em>There were 7 adults and 9 children paying tickets to the magic show</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

A system of equations consists of more than one variable related to more than one equation. The question we're working on requires to know two variables: the number of children and the number of adults that paid to a magic show.

Let's call x to the number of adults and y to the number of children. The first condition states there are a total of 16 persons in the group. This can be written as:

x+y=16         [1]

We also know the adult tickets cost $10.50 each and child tickets cost $7.50 each. This means the total amount paid for the tickets is:

total\ paid = 10.50*x+7.50*y

We are given this total, thus

10.50*x+7.50*y=141            [2]

The system formed by [1] and [2] must be solved to answer the question. Let's solve [1] for x:

x=16-y

And substitute x in [2]:

10.50*(16-y)+7.50*y=141

Operating:

10.50*16-10.50*y+7.50*y=141

-10.50*y+7.50*y=141-10.50*16

Joining like terms and operating on the right side:

-3y=-27

Solving:

\displaystyle y=\frac{-27}{-3}

\boxed{y=9}

The value of x is calculated by

x=16-y=16-9

\boxed{x=7}

This means there were 7 adults and 9 children paying tickets to the magic show

Answer:

  D. at the ballpark

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-coordinate doesn't change between points C and D. That means Daniel's distance from home is not changing. Since Daniel rode to the ballpark and back, and since segment CD represents Daniel's farthest distance from home, we conclude ...

  CD represents the time Daniel spent at the ballpark.
