The county fair charges $2.50 per ticket for the rides. Henry bought 15 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $55.50 at the

fair. Henry spent his money only on ride tickets and far admission. The price of the fair admission is the same for everyone. Use x to represent the number of tide tickets and y to represent the total cost.
(A) Find the cost of admission to the fair. Explain how you found the cost of admission.
(B) Write a linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who pays for ride tickets and fair admission.

Answer:

<em>(A)  $18</em>

<em>(B)   y=2.50x+18</em>

<em>(C)   Coefficient of x-term represents the cost for each ride ticket and constant term represents the cost of admission to the fair.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

(A)

The county fair charges $2.50 per ticket for the rides and Henry bought 15 tickets for the rides.

So, the total cost of the 15 tickets will be:  (\$2.50*15)= \$37.50

He spent total $55.50 on ride tickets and fair admission.

So, the cost of admission to the fair will be:  (\$55.50-\$37.50)= \$18

(B)

If x represents the number of ride tickets and y represents the total cost, then the cost for x number of ride tickets is \$2.50x

So, the linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who pays for ride tickets and fair admission will be:   y= 2.50x+18

(C)

In the above linear equation, <u>coefficient of x-term is 2.50, which represents the cost for each ride ticket</u>.

And the <u>constant term is 18, which represents the cost of admission to the fair</u>.

There are a total of 15 bicycles and tricycles.There are 37 wheels all together if we count them up. How many tricycles and how
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: there are eight bicycles and 7 tricycles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bicycles that are there.

Let y represent the number of tricycles that are there.

There are a total of 15 bicycles and tricycles. This means that

x + y = 15

A bicycle has 2 wheels and a tricycle has 3 wheels. There are 37 wheels all together if we count them up. This means that

2x + 3y = 37- - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 15 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(15 - y) + 3y = 37

30 - 2y + 3y = 37

- 2y + 3y = 37 - 30

y = 7

x = 15 - y = 15 - 7

x = 8

The sum of 2/3 and twice a number is equal to 5/6 subtracted from three times a number​
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

3÷2

Step-by-step explanation:

First let the required no. be 'x'.

By question,

(2÷3)+2x=3x-(5÷6)

or,(2+6x)÷3=(18x-5)÷6

or,2+6x=(18x-5)÷2

or,4+12x=18-5

or,x=9÷6

Therefore, x=3÷2
