Number of child tickets: x
Number of adult tickets: y
1) x+y=370
2) 3x+7y=1750
Using the method of substitution
a) Isolating y in the first equation:
1) x+y=370→x+y-x=370-x→y=370-x
b) Replacing y=370-x in the second equation:
2) 3x+7y=1750→3x+7(370-x)=1750
c) Solving for x: Distributive property:
3x+7(370)-7x=1750
3x+2590-7x=1750
Adding similar terms:
-4x+2590=1750
-4x+2590-2590=1750-2590
-4x=-840
Dividing both sides of the equation by -4:
-4x/(-4)=-840/(-4)
x=210
Replacing x=210 in the first equation:
1) y=370-x→y=370-210→y=160
Answer:
The number of child tickets was 210 and
the number of adult tickets was 160
Answer:Put y over x or you can divide both numbers by x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
i think it's b sorry if it's wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 7.5 because Y/75 X 10/100 = 750 /100 = 7.5
2. .75 because Y/75 X 1/100 = 75/100 = .75
