Your using the distributive property in your example, hope that helps.
Hello!
Let 'a' stand for adult tickets and 'c' for children tickets.
a + c = 15
(Both adult and children tickets make up a total of 15 tickets).
30a + 20c = 330
a = 3
c = 12
A N S W E R:
William bought 3 adults tickets and 12 children's tickets.
Jay didnt follow the BEDMAS rule, he should have started withe the division because it has the priority based on the BEDMAS rule.
What????????????
Don't post unless you really need help<span />
Both of those equations are solved for y. So if the first one is equal to y and the second one is equal to y, then the transitive property says that the first one is equal to the second one. We set them equal to each other and solve for x. 4x-5=-3 and 4x = 2. That means that x = 1/2. We were already told that y = -3, so the coordinates for the solution to that system are (1/2, -3), B from above.
