Answer:

The price of

1 adult ticket = $15

1 student ticket = $9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The price of adult tickets be represented by a

The price of student tickets be represented by s

Therefore:

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 4 adult tickets and 10 student tickets for a total of $150.

4a + 10s = $150.... Equation 1

The school took in $105 on the second day by selling 1 adult ticket and 10 student tickets.

a + 10s = $105.... Equation 2

a = $105 - 10s

Therefore, we substitute : $105 - 10s = a in Equation 1

4a + 10s = $150.... Equation 1

4($105 - 10s) + 10s = $150

$420 - 40s + 10s = $150

Collect like terms

- 40s + 10s = $150 - $420

-30s = -$270

Divide both sides by -30

-30s/-30 = -$270/-30

s = $9

We find a

a = $105 - 10s

a = $105 - 10($9)

a = $105 - $90

a = $15

Therefore, the price of

1 adult ticket = $15

1 student ticket = $9

A hiking trail is 20 kilometers long. Park organizers want to build 5 rest stops for hikers with one on each end of the trail an
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

There will be 5 kilometers between each rest stop

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so there are two rest stops at the start and end of the trail. This means that the sum of the distances of the rest stops must equal 20 kilometers.

If you can imagine a number line being split by 3 lines, it makes four segments.

We can't solve this using 3D = 20 because that would mean one of the three rest stops is at the end of the hike

So,

4D = 20\\D = 5\\
