A plumber charges $50 to come to a house and $20 an hour for work time.

PolarNik [594]

Since the 50 remains the same every time, is has no letters next to it in the equation. The 20, however, is multiplied by the amount of hours, and will therefore have an h next to.

20h + 50- the answer is a.

Brianna's family spent $134 on 2 adult tickets and 3 youth tickets at an amusement park. Max's family spent $146 on 3 adults tic

Firdavs [7]

The price of 1 youth ticket is $ 22

Solution:

Let "y" be the price of 1 youth ticket

Let "a" be the price of 1 adult ticket

To find: price of 1 youth ticket

Brianna's family spent $134 on 2 adult tickets and 3 youth tickets at an amusement park

So we can frame a equation as:

2 adult tickets x price of 1 adult ticket + 3 youth tickets x price of 1 youth ticket = 134

$2 \times a + 3 \times y = 134$

2a + 3y = 134 ---- eqn 1

Max's family spent $146 on 3 adults tickets and 2 youth tickets

So we can frame a equation as:

3 adult tickets x price of 1 adult ticket + 2 youth tickets x price of 1 youth ticket = 146

$3 \times a + 2 \times y = 146$

3a + 2y = 146 ----- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "y"

Multiply eqn 1 by 3

6a + 9y = 402 ---- eqn 3

Multiply eqn 2 by 2

6a + 4y = 292 ----- eqn 4

Subtract eqn 4 from eqn 3

6a + 9y = 402

6a + 4y = 292

( - ) -------------------

5y = 110

y = 22

Thus the price of 1 youth ticket is $ 22

There are nickles and quarters worth $2.20 in total. If there are 28 coins, how many nickels are there?

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

There are 24 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels

Let y represent the number of quarters
—————————————————————

Value Value
Type Number of of
of of each all
Coin Coin Coin Coin
—————————————————————
Nickels | x | $0.05 | $0.05x
Quarters | y | $0.25 | $0.25y
—————————————————————
Totals 28 ——— $2.20
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The first equation comes from the “Number of coins” column.

(Number of nickels) + (Number of quarters) = (total number of coins)

Equation: x + y = 28
—————————————————————
The second equation comes from the “value of all coins” column.

(Value of all nickels) + (Value of all quarters) = (Total value of all coins)

0.05x + 0.25y = 2.20

Remove the decimals by multiplying each term by 100:

5x + 25y = 220
—————————————————————
So we have the system of equations:

{x + y = 28
{5x + 25y = 202

Solve by substitution. Solve the first equation for y:

x + y = 28
y = 28 - x

Substitute (28 - x) for y in 5x + 25y = 220

5x + 25 (28 - x) = 220
5x + 700 - 25x = 220
-20x + 700 = 220
-20x = -480
x = 24

The number of nickels is 24.
————————————————————
Substitute in y = 28 - x
y = 28 - (24)
y = 4

The number of quarters is 4.
————————————————————
Checking:

24 nickels is $1.20 and 4 quarters is $1.00
That’s 28 coins.
Indeed $1.20 + $1.00 = $2.20
