Your equation should be
$4(40 tickets) + $5(X) = $400
160 +5x = 400
-160 -160
0 5x = 340
divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 340/5
x = 68
so they need to sell 68 tickets at the door.
4(40) + 5(68) = 400
160 + 340 + 400
400 + 400
Answer:
42 child and 70 adult
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = number of adult tickets
c = number of child tickets
a+c = 112
2.25a + 1.75c = 231
Solve the first equation for a
a = 112-c
Substitute this into the second equation
2.25(112-c) + 1.75c = 231
Distribute
252 - 2.25c +1.75c = 231
Combine like terms
252 -.5c = 231
Subtract 252 from each side
252-252 -.5c = 231-252
-.5c = -21
Divide each side by -.5
-.5c/-.5 = -21/ -.5
c = 42
Now can find a
a = 112-c
a = 112-42
a = 70
The answer will be 4.222222
