Answer: x = $7, y = $6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the cost of an adult ticket
Let y be the cost of a children's ticket
Translate these sentences to algebra:
At the circus, three adult tickets and five child tickets cost $51: 3x + 5y = 51
Five adult tickets and two child tickets cost $47: 5x + 2y = 47
Now we have two equations. Let's use substitution to solve.
3x + 5y = 51
3x = 51 - 5y
.: x = 17 - 5y/3
Now substitute this value of x into the second equation to find the numerical value of y:
5(17 - 5y/3) + 2y = 47
85 - 25y/3 + 2y = 47
-19y/3 = -38
-19y = -114
.: y = 6
Now find x:
x = 17 - 5y/3
x = 17 - 10
.: x = 7
So an adult ticket costs $7, and a child ticket costs $6 :)
The function would be the initial plus growth rate * # years
So: f(x) = 9.05 + 0.031(7)
Where x= # years
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A
lets say t is each ticket
and b is each book
0.25t + 2b = 17 that is for both
for just books
2b = 17
Answer:
11, 12, 13
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the first number
(x + 1) is the second number
(x + 2) is the third number
x + x+1 + x+2 = 36
3x + 3 = 36
3x = 36 - 3
3x = 33
x = 11 ← the first number
the second number = x + 1 = 11 + 1 = 12
the third number = x + 2 = 11 + 2 = 13
The equation: 6s - 10 = s
Add 10 to each side: 6s = s + 10
Subtract 's' from each side: 5s = 10
Divide each side by 5 : s = 2
