Answer:

2x + 4y = $50

x = $5, and y = $10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price of student's ticket be represented by $x, and that of adult by $y. So that:

2x + 4y = $50 ................  1

But, given that adult tickets are $5 more that student tickets.

i.e y = x + $5  .................  2

Substitute equation 2 into 1, to have;

2x + 4(x + $5) = $50

2x + 4x + $20 = $50

6x = $30

x = $5

From equation 2,

y = 5 + 5

  = $10

Therefore, the price of student tickets is $5 and adult tickets is $10.

Find the equation of the plane z = mx + ny + b which contains the points (0,0,6), (1,0,-3) and (0,2,5).
leonid [27]
The three points give you three equations, which you can solve by your favorite method.
.. 0m +0n +b = 6
.. 1m +0n +b = -3
.. 0m +2n +b = 5

(m, n, b) = (-9, -1/2, 6)
so the equation of the plane can be written as
.. z = -9x -1/2y +6

_____
In standard form, this would be
.. 18x +y +2z = 12
