Answer:
Per child admission costs $8.5
Per Adult admission costs $13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of admission per child and y be the amount of admission per adult
For Tom's party:
13x+2y=137.50 (Equation 1)
For Lisa's Party:
9x+2y=105.50 (Equation 2)
Using Elimination Method:
Add Equation 1 & 2
13x+2y=137.50
9x+2y=105.50
- - = - (Change of Signs)
---------------------------------
4x+0y=34.00
x=34/4
x=8.5
Putting the value of x in Equation 2
13(8.5)+2y=137.50
110.5+2y=137.50
2y=137.50-110.50
2y=27
y=27/2
y=13.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: the number of social media advertisements that you purchased is 18
The number of newspaper advertisements that you purchased is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of social media advertisements that you purchased.
Let y represent the number of newspaper advertisements that you purchased.
You purchase three social media advertisements for every one newspaper advertisement. This means that
y = x/3
x = 3y
You end up purchasing a total of 24 advertisements. This means that
x + y = 24 - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting y = into equation 1, it becomes
3y + y = 24
4y = 24
y = 24/4 = 6
x = 3y = 6×3 = 18
The equations are
x = 3y
x + y = 24
