Answer:
#adult tickets sold = 346
#student tickets sold = 812
Step-by-step explanation:
let 'x' = # adult tickets sold
let 'y' = # students tickets sold
System of Equations:
x + y = 1158
5x + y = 2542
I used the elimination method and multiplied the first equation by -1
-x - y = -1158
+<u> 5x + y = 2542</u>
4x = 1384
x = 346
346 + y = 1158
y = 812
<span>24 cans costs £6
6/24 = 0.25 each can
5 * 0.25 = </span><span>£1.25
answer: </span>£1.25 for <span>5 cans</span>
1) subtract 2y in both sides: (7y-2y)-6=(2y-2y)+8 which is 5y-6=8
2) Add 6 to both sides: 5y(-6+6)=8+6 which is 5y=14
3) Divide 5 on both sides: 5y/5=14/5 which is y=14/5 or y=2.8 or y=2 4/5
