Answer: Divide the first equation, −4x + 8y = 16, by 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
212 children, and 265 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of children and adults, we can set up a systems of equations.
x= number of children
y= number of adults
Equation 1: Price
1.50x+2.25y=914.25
Equation 2: Total number of people
x+y=477
Now, let's solve the equation using substitution.
Rearrange the second equation to solve for one variable.
x+y=477
x=477-y
Now plug x equals into the first equation, and solve for y.
1.50x+2.25y=914.25
1.50(477-y)+2.25y=914.25
715.5-1.50y+2.25y=914.25
715.5+0.75y=914.25
0.75y=198.75
y=265
We just solved for the number of adults. Now let's plug y equals into the second equation to find the number of children.
x+y=477
x+265=477
x=212
