At the afternoon matinee movie, 2 adult tickets and 4 child tickets cost $32, and 4 adult tickets and 3 child tickets cost $44.
Which two equations can be used to determine the price of each ticket? Let x represent the cost of an adult ticket and y represent the cost of a child ticket.
From the information supplied in the question, we can see that 2 adult tickets and 4 child tickets cost $32. This means we multiply the cost of an adult ticket by 2 and add it to the product of 4 child tickets and its price I.e y.
We can also see that to get a total cost of $44, 4 adult tickets and 3 child tickets were bought. Hence, we simply multiply the cost of an adult ticket by 4 and add it to the product of 3 child ticket and its price
Step-by-step explanation:first you distribute 2 to x and 6 which equals 2x+12=10 then you subtract 12 from 10 which equals 2x=-2 then divide -2 by 2x to see what x equals so x=-1
