What is the solution to the system of equations that contains -3x + y = 3 and 2x - y = -1

1 answer:

5 0

-3x + y = 3
2x - y = -1

2x - 2x - y = -1 - 2x
-y = -1 - 2x
Y = 1 + 2x
Y = 2x + 1

-3x + y = 3
-3x + (2x + 1) = 3
-3x + 2x + 1 = 3
-X + 1 = 3
-X + 1 - 1 = 3 - 1
-X = 2
X = -2.

Y = 2x + 1
Y = 2(-2) + 1
Y = -4 + 1
Y = -3.

P(-2,-3). The solution to this system of equations is P(-2,-3).

Answer:

188 children and 145 adults were admitted in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults.

Total $862 collected on a certain day when 333 people enter the park.

Now, to find the children and adults admitted in the park.

Let the number of children admitted be $x.$

And the the number of adults admitted be $y.$

So, the total people enter the park:

$x+y=333\\\\x=333-y\ \ \ ...(1)$

Thus, the total amount collected of the admission fee:

$1.50(x)+4(y)=862\\\\$

Substituting the value of $x$ from equation (1):

$1.50(333-y)+4(y)=862\\\\499.50-1.50y+4y=862\\\\499.50+2.50y=862\\\\Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by\ 499.50\ we\ get:\\\\2.50y=362.50\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2.50\ we\ get:\\\\y=145.$
