Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to have 2 different equations to solve this.  One equation will represent the number of tickets sold while the other represents the money collected when the tickets were sold.

We know that adult tickets + children tickets = 2200 tickets.

That's the "number of tickets" equation.  Let's call adult tickets "a" and children's tickets "c".  So a + c = 2200

Now if each adult costs $4, then the expression that represents that as a cost is 4a.  If there is 1 adult, the cost is $4(1) = $4; if there are 2 adults, the cost is $4(2) = $8; if there are 3 adults, the cost is $4(3) = $12, etc.

The same goes for the children's tickets.  If each child's ticket is $1.50, then the expression that represents the cost of a child's ticket is 1.5c (we don't need the 0 at the end; it doesn't change anything to drop it off).  The total money brought in from the cost of these tickets was $5050, so

4a + 1.5c = 5050

Let's solve the first equation for a.  If a + c = 2200, then a = 2200 - c.  Sub that into the second equation and solve it for c:

4(2200 - c) + 1.5c = 5050 and

8800 - 4c + 1.5c = 5050 and

-2.5c = -3750 so

c = 1500

That means that there were 1500 children's tickets sold.  If a + c = 2200, then a + 1500 = 2200 so

a = 2200 - 1500 so

a = 700

There were 1500 children's tickets sold and 700 adult tickets sold.

Look at the graph shown<br> Which equation best represents the line?
Brilliant_brown [7]

y=\frac{11}{4}x +4 is the equation best represents the line.

Solution:

Take any two points on the line.

Let the points be (0, –4) and (4, 7).

x_1=0,y_1=-4,x_2=4, y_2=7

General form of equation of a line is y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept of the line.

<em>y-intercept is the point which line crosses at y-axis.</em>

In the given line, y-intercept is 4.

c = 4

Slope of the line:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

$m=\frac{7-(-4)}{4-0}

$m=\frac{11}{4}

Equation of the line:

y = mx + c

y=\frac{11}{4}x +4

Hence y=\frac{11}{4}x +4 is the equation best represents the line.
