X = adult
y = children
53(x+y=431)
53x +24y = 15390$
53x+53y = 22,843
subtract from
53x+24y = 15,390
29y = 7,453$
y = 257
53x + 24 (257) = 15,390
53x + 6,168 = 15,390
53x = 9,222
x = 174
So... You have to solve for y, graph it, and then find where the lines intersect.You can take a table and put in all the x and y valuesThen graph it.. And see where it intersectsBecause usually these equations are lines
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Since the GCF of 18 and 24 is 6, we can </u><u>distribute</u><u> </u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>into</u><u> </u><u>each</u><u> </u><u>number</u><u>.</u>

<u>Also represents;</u>

<u>And;</u>

<u>When solved;</u>

(-4 , 2 ) so x1 = -4 and y1 = 2. The slope is still 1/2 so m = 1/2. y = 1/2 x +4 final answer
