Answer:

kids= $3

Adults= $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let kids be x

and adults be y

First family

5x+2y= 25-----------------1

Second family

3x+y= 14-----------------2

Solve 1 and 2

5x+2y= 25 X 1

3x+y= 14     X 2

5x+2y= 25

-6x+2y= 28

-x= -3

x= 3

Put x= 3 in 1

5x+2y= 25

5(3)+2y= 25

15=2y= 25

2y= 25-15

2y= 10

divide both sides by 2

y= 10/2

y= 5

Hence kids= $3

Adults= $5

I Need to know a or b is the answer to this question
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

in option B, you are adding the 3 pound plastic box to each cardboard box

in option A, you have 5 separate carboard packages, and one 3 pound plastic box

This [option a] is the diagram that matches the scenario given.

Think of the x's as normal numbers. Let's say the weight of each "x" is 1. [it's not I'm aware that this question is different]

if you have 5 x's, you have

1 1 1 1 1 3

<em>not </em>1+3 ; 1+3 ; 1+3 ; 1+3 ; 1+3

you would only have this if you were to add a 3 pound plastic box to each individual package
