A=adult pay
c=child pay
3a+4c=83
2a+3c=59
subtract
a+c=24
2a+2c=48
2a+3c-2a-2c=59-48
c=11
a=24-11=13
price of adult ticket=13$
price of child's ticket=$11

Let x and y represent the costs of adult and child tickets, respectively. Then the problem statement gives two relations:
.. 3x +4y = 83
.. 2x +3y = 59
A graph shows the solution to be (x, y) = (13, 11).

The price of a child's ticket is $11.
The price of the adult ticket is $13.

A weather forecaster says the temperature will be about-5C “give or take” 10 degrees. What is the greatest possible temperature?

IRINA_888 [86]

The greatest possible temperature is $5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and least possible temperature is $-15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that according to weather forecaster the temperature will be about -5 degree celsius given or take 10 degree”

Need to determine greatest possible temperature and least possible temperature.

Give and take in given statement means a temperature can go up by 10 degrees and can go down by 10 degrees

So greatest possible temperature will be $-5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}+10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

Least possible temperature will be $-5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}-10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=-15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

Hence according to weather forecaster, greatest possible temperature = $5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and least possible temperature = $-15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
