Answer:

a) 2a + 3c = $44.50

     a + 2c + $25.50

b) $19

Step-by-step explanation:

Simultaneous equations. A = adult. C = children

2a + 3c = $44.50 (EQUATION 1)

a + 2c = $25.50 (EQUATION 2)

Now solve this using the method of elimination:

2a + 3c = $44.50 (EQUATION 1)

a + 2c = $25.50 (EQUATION 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 2 so that both equations have the same a coefficient.

2a + 4c = $51 (NEW EQUATION 2)

Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2:

2a - 2a + 4c - 3c = $51 - $44.50 (2a cancels out)

c = $6.50

Now substitute c into one of the equation, in this case, I'm using original equation 2.

a + 2($6.50) = $25.50

a + $13 = $25.50

a = $12.50

Total cost of one adult and child = $6.50 + $12.50

                                                       = $19

Answer:

The equation would be y = -2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is put it in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (for example, the equation y= 2x + 1 has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 1.)

Since you have slope, or m, = -2 and the y-intercept, or b, = 1, the equation would be y = -2x + 1
