Answer:

a = $13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = adult tickets

Let c = children tickets

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation;

<u>For the Martinez family;</u>

2a + 3c = $60

<u>For the Wright family;</u>

3a + 5c = $95.5

Thus, the simultaneous equations are;

2a + 3c = $60 ..........equation 1

3a + 5c = $95.5 .........equation 2

We would use substitution method to solve;

From equation 2, we make a the subject of formula;

3a = 95.5 - 5c

a = (95.5 - 5c)/3

<em>Substituting the value of "a" into equation 1, we have;</em>

2[(95.5-5c)/3] + 3c = 60

Multiplying all through by 3;

2(95.5 - 5c) + 9c = 180

191 - 10c + 9c = 180

191 - c = 180

c = 191-180

c = $11

To find the value of a;

2a +3c = 60

<em>Substituting the value of "c" into the equation, we have;</em>

2a + 3(11) = 60

2a + 33 = 60

2a = 60 - 33

2a = 27

a = \frac{27}{2}

a = $13.5

<em>Therefore, the cost of an adult movie ticket is $13.5. </em>
