We have two formulas:
Adult tickets plus Student tickets = 550 tickets   or   A + S = 550
   and
Adult tickets times $20 plus Student ticket times $10 = $7500  or
(A * 20) + (S * 10)  = 7500

First let's get rid of one of the variables by re-balancing the simplest formula
A+S = 550
A+S-A = 550-A
S = 550-A

Now we can restate the second formula replacing "S"  with it's equivalent "550-A"

(A * 20) + (S * 10)  = 7500
(A * 20) + ((550-A) *10) = 7500
Then do the multiplication
20A + 5500 - 10A = 7500
and simplifiy
20A + 5500 - 5500 - 10A = 7500 - 5500
20A - 10A = 2000
10A = 2000
A =  200   
S =  550 - 200 = 350

Now we should test the answers to be sure our work
 is correct:
  200 Adult tickets times $20 = $4000
  350 Student tickets times $10 = $3500
  $4000 + $3500 = 7500

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The slope is 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope determines the direction and the rate of increase or decrease between the two points on a surface or line.

In the question, it is given initially she is 20 miles north of her house

⇒ When x = 0 the y-coordinate is 20

So, the y-intercept is 20

Now, it is given that the rate of change is 55 miles per hour

Hence, the slope is same as 55 because it is the actual rate of change between the positions of Jennifer with time.

Hence, The slope is 55.
