Question

School sold 2 adult tickets and 10 child tickets for a total of $56. The school took in $52 on the second

Answer 1

Answer:

x+y=4+8=12

$12 for one of each

or if you mean indivually (the wording confused me)

$4 for child, $8 for adult

Step-by-step explanation:

x=adult

y=child

2x+10y=56

4x+5y=52

iin order to be able to subtract values and find x and y im going to multiply 4x+5y=52 by two and get 8x+10y=104

8x+10y=104

-2x+10y=56

6x=48 divide each side by 6

x=8

plug 8 back into an equation to find cost of y

2(8)+10y=56

-16            -16

10y=40

y=4
