Given :
On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 10 senior tickets and 1 child ticket for a total of $85 .
The school took in $75 on the second day by selling 5 senior citizens tickets and 7 child tickets.
To Find :
The price of a senior ticket and the price of a child ticket.
Solution :
Let, price of senior ticket and child ticket is x and y respectively.
Mathematical equation of condition 1 :
10x + y = 85 ...1)
Mathematical equation of condition 2 :
5x + 7y = 75 ...2)
Solving equation 1 and 2, we get :
2(2) - (1) :
2( 5x + 7y - 75 ) - ( 10x +y - 85 ) = 0
10x + 14y - 150 - 10x - y + 85 = 0
13y = 65
y = 5
10x - 5 = 85
x = 8
Therefore, price of a senior ticket and the price of a child ticket $8 and $5.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
The equation of the line is 7 x +5 y = 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here the given points are ( 5, -4) & ( -10, 17) -
Equation of a line whose points are given such that
(
) & (
)-
y -
=
( x -
)
i.e. <em>y - (-4)=
( x- 5)</em>
<em> y + 4 =
( x - 5)</em>
<em> y + 4 =
( x - 5 )</em>
<em> ( y + 4) =
( x - 5)</em>
<em> 5 (y + 4 ) = - 7 (x - 5 )</em>
<em> 5 y + 20 = -7 x + 35</em>
<em> 7 x + 5 y = 15</em>
Hence the equation of the required line whose passes trough the points ( 5, -4) & ( -10, 17) is 7 x + 5 y = 15.
