Let us formulate the independent equation that represents the problem. We let x be the cost for adult tickets and y be the cost for children tickets. All of the sales should equal to $20. Since each adult costs $4 and each child costs $2, the equation should be
4x + 2y = 20
There are two unknown but only one independent equation. We cannot solve an exact solution for this. One way to solve this is to state all the possibilities. Let's start by assigning values of x. The least value of x possible is 0. This is when no adults but only children bought the tickets.
When x=0,
4(0) + 2y = 20
y = 10
When x=1,
4(1) + 2y = 20
y = 8
When x=2,
4(2) + 2y = 20
y = 6
When x=3,
4(3) + 2y= 20
y = 4
When x = 4,
4(4) + 2y = 20
y = 2
When x = 5,
4(5) + 2y = 20
y = 0
When x = 6,
4(6) + 2y = 20
y = -2
A negative value for y is impossible. Therefore, the list of possible combination ends at x =5. To summarize, the combinations of adults and children tickets sold is tabulated below:
Number of adult tickets Number of children tickets
0 10
1 8
2 6
3 4
4 2
5 0
Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3(1.5x + 9) = 0
Reorder the terms:
3(9 + 1.5x) = 0
(9 * 3 + 1.5x * 3) = 0
(27 + 4.5x) = 0
Solving
27 + 4.5x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-27' to each side of the equation.
27 + -27 + 4.5x = 0 + -27
Combine like terms: 27 + -27 = 0
0 + 4.5x = 0 + -27
4.5x = 0 + -27
Combine like terms: 0 + -27 = -27
4.5x = -27
Divide each side by '4.5'.
x = -6
Simplifying
x = -6
Hi there!
First we subtract 44-14 leaving us with 30. 5x6 = 30
Therefore, a member can visit a history museum 6 times to equal a total cost of $44.
In a different situation:
If the person has already paid the $14, and that doesn’t count as a visit, then a person would have to visit a museum 8 times to get a total of $45. Considering this is a real-world problem.
I hope this helps and have a good day :) !
