The Brady family received 1 letter on July 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Assume a = the number of letters, b = the number of bills, c = the number of ads, and d = the number of magazines.

From the question, they got 15 pieces of mail that day so a+b+c+d=15.

They got 5 more magazines than bills so d = b + 5.

The got the same number of letters as ads so a=c.

They got 3 more bills than ads so b= c + 3.

Step 2:

As we have only one equation to solve the values, we need to make every term in terms of a single term.

We make everything in terms of c.

So a=c, b = c+3, c=c, d = b+5 = (c+3)+5=c+8.

Substituting all this in the equation, we get

a + b+c+d =(c)+(c+3)+(c)+(c+8) = 15, 4c+11=15.

4c=4, c = 1.

Step 3:

Substituting c = 1 in other terms, we get

a=c=1,

b=c+3=1+3=4,

c=1, and

d = c+8 = 1+8=9.

As a = 1, they received 1 letter that day.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The price of 1 adult ticket is $ 11 and price of 1 child ticket is $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of 1 adult ticket

Let y be the cost of 1 child ticket

Cost of 8 adult tickets = 8x

Cost of 9 child tickets = 9y

We are given that A local kids play sold 8 adult tickets and 9 child tickets for a total of $205

So, 8x+9y=205 ----- 1

Cost of 4 adult tickets = 4x

Cost of 3 child tickets = 3y

We are given that 4 adult tickets and 3 child tickets for a total of $83.

4x+3y=83 ----2

Plot 1 and 2 on graph

8x+9y=205  -- Red line

4x+3y=83  -- Blue line

Intersection point provides the solution

So, Intersection point =(11,13)

So, The price of 1 adult ticket is $ 11 and price of 1 child ticket is $13
