Given:

Admission to the local movie theater is $3 for each child and $7 for each adult.

A group of 12 people pay $64 admission.

To find:

The number of children in a group.

Solution:

Let the number of children be x and number of adults be y.

According to the question,

Total persons : x+y=12          ...(i)

Total cost : 3x+7y=64     ...(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 7 and subtract the result from (ii).

3x+7y-7(x+y)=64-7(12)

3x+7y-7x-7y=64-84

-4x=-20

Divide both sides by -4.

x=5

Therefore, the number of children is 5.

Elenna [48]
The rate of change in z at (4,9) as we change x but hold y fixed is = 3/[2sqrt(3x+2y)] put x = 4 , y = 9 = 3/[2sqrt(12+18) = 3/[2sqrt(30)] The rate of change in z at (4,9) as we change y but hold x fixed is = 1/sqrt(3x+2y) put x = 4, y =9 = 1/sqrt(30)
