Short Answer: Tony 40 Cleo 30
Givens
T = Tony
C = Cleo
Equations
1/2 T + 1/3 C = 30 (1)
2/5 T + 1/2 C = 31 (2)
Adjustments
Multiply (1) by 3
Multiply (2) by 2
New Equations
3/2 T + C = 90 (1a)
<u>4/5 T + C = 62</u> (2a) Subtract (2a) from (1a)
(3/2 - 4/5)T = 28 the common multiple of 2 and 5 = 10.
(15/10 - 8/10)T = 28
7/10 T = 28 Multiply by 10
7T = 28*10
7T = 280 Divide by 7
T = 280/7 = 40
Put T = 40 into (1)
1/2 T + 1/3 C = 30
1/2 (40) + 1/3 C = 30
20 + 1/3 C = 30 Subtract 20 from both sides.
1/3 C = 30 - 20
1/3 C = 10 Multiply through by 3
C = 10 * 3
C = 30
Answer:
Cleo has 30 books.
Tony has 40 books.
Check
<em>Use Equation 2</em>
2/5 T + 1/2 C = 31
2/5*40 + 1/2 * 30 = ? 31
16 + 15 =?3`
31 = 31 They are equal.
Answer:
60 child tickets and 72 adult tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x denote the number of child tickets sold and y the number of adult tickets sold. The problem involves solving the following system of linear equations; x+y=132 and 5.2x+8.6y=931.2. Using technology to solve this simultaneous equation yields; x= 60, y =72
Answer:
X=57/2, y=63/2
