Answer:
$395
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
Supplementary angles add up to 180o.
Givens
<1 = 124
<2 = 2x + 4
I imagine you are looking for either x or <2.
Equation
<1 + <2 = 180 Substitute the givens
124 + 2x + 4 = 180 Collect like terms on the left.
128 + 2x = 180 Subtract 128 from both sides
2x = 180 - 128 Collect like terms on the right
2x = 52 divide by 2
x = 52/2
x = 26 <<<<<<<<< answer
<1 = 124
<2 = 2x + 4 = 2*26 + 4
<2 = 52 + 4
<2 = 56 <<<<<<<< answer
We need choices if you want an exact answer.
Set x as adult tickets.
Set y as children's tickets.
x + y = 15
30x + 20y = 270
Solve for x in the first equation.
x + y = 15
x = 15 - y
Plug this into the second equation.
30x + 20y = 270
30(15 - y) + 20y = 270
450 - 30y + 20y = 270
450 - 10y = 270
-10y = -180
y = 18
If there is 18 childrens tickets, there should be -3 adult tickets.
This is impossible, and this impossible answer occured because the question is written wrong.
There are a total of 15 tickets
The smallest costing ticket is the childrens ticket, which costs 20$.
If he only bought children tickets, this would be 20x15 which is 300$.
300$ is over 270$, which makes the question impossible.
