Answer 1

Answer: An adult’s ticket costs $9 while a children’s ticket costs $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

1). 2x + 3y = 33

2). 5x + 2y = 55

3). I’m going to use substitution.

Isolate a variable (x):

2x + 3y = 33

2x = -3y + 33

X = (-3y + 33)/2

X = -3/2y + 33/2

Substitute and solve for y:

5x + 2y = 55

5(-3/2y + 33/2) + 2y = 55

-15/2y + 165/2 + 2y = 55

-11/2y = -55/2

Y = 5 <— children’s ticket.

Solve for x:

2x + 3y = 33

2x + 3(5) = 33

2x + 15 = 33

2x = 18

X = 9 <— adult’s ticket.

Check:

5x + 2y = 55

5(9) + 2(5) = 55

45 + 10 = 55

55 = 55

2x + 3y = 33

2(9) + 3(5) = 33

18 + 15 = 33

33 = 33
