(x , y) = (7, - 1)
2x + 3y = 11 → (1)
3x + 3y = 18 → (2)
subtracting (1) from (2) term by term eliminates the y- term
(3x - 2x) + (3y - 3y) = (18 - 11)
x + 0 = 7 ⇒ x = 7
substitute x = 7 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
(1) → (2 × 7) + 3y = 11
14 + 3y = 11
subtract 14 from both sides
3y = 11 - 14 = - 3
divide both sides by 3
= - 1
solution is (7 , -1)
Answer:
42 adults and 196 children went to the zoo
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of adults
y ----> the number of children
we know that
The total bill for the 238 people from a school trip was $1330
so
----> equation A
----> equation B
Solve the system of equations by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
using a graphing tool
the solution is the point (42,196)
see the attached figure
therefore
42 adults and 196 children went to the zoo
