Answer:

A = 80   S =70

Step-by-step explanation:

#Adults tickets = A

#Students tickets = S

A + S = 150

5A (means the price is $5 times the number of Adult tickets) equals the total amount for all of the Adult tickets altogether

3S (means the price is $3 times the number of Student tickets) equals the total amount for all of the students tickets altogether

5A + 3S = 610    (Means adding the total of all the student tickets plus adult tickets will equal $610 for all tickets sold)

Using both equations now, you can use substitution or elimination to solve for one of the variables. Then you can use the variable to substitute to solve the remaining one.

A + S = 150

5A + 3S = 610

Substitution:

A = 150 - S  (Rearrange the first equation by moving S to the other side)

Substitute into the other equation

5 (150 - S) + 3S = 610

750 - 5S + 3S = 610      Combine like terms :    -2S = -140

Solve for S = 70

Substitute into A + S = 150        A + (70) = 150

A = 80

A construction firm is trying to decide which of two models of a crane to purchase. Model A costs $90,000 and requires $4,000 pe
liraira [26]
Let's say hmm let's use the figures in thousands, so
model A costs 90 + 4 per year, so... ok.. after "t" years, then the cost for model A is then 90 + 4*t, or A = 90 + 4t.

now, model B is 70 + 10 per year, so,... after "t" years, model B is then
B = 70 + 10 * t, or B = 70 + 10t.

if we were to assume A < B, namely the cost of A is less than B, what would the years be? namely, what's "t"?

\bf A\ \textless \ B\implies 90+4t \ \textless \  70 + 10t\implies 90-70 \ \textless \  10t-4t&#10;\\\\\\&#10;20 \ \textless \  6t\implies \cfrac{20}{6}\ \textless \ t\implies \cfrac{10}{3}\ \textless \ t\implies 3\frac{1}{3}\ \textless \ t&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{3 years and }\frac{1}{3}\textit{ or \underline{3 years and 4 months}}

after that period, then A becomes cheaper than B.
