Answer:

  • adult: $7
  • student: $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and s represent the prices of adult and student tickets, respectively.

  13a +12s = 211 . . . . . . ticket sales the first day

  5a +3s = 65 . . . . . . . ticket sales the second day

Subtracting the first equation from 4 times the second gives ...

  4(5a +3s) -(13a +12s) = 4(65) -(211)

  7a = 49 . . . . . . . simplify

  a = 7 . . . . . . . divide by 7

  5(7) +3s = 65 . . . . substitute into the second equation

  3s = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 35

  s = 10 . . . . . . . divide by 3

The price of one adult ticket is $7; the price of one student ticket is $10.

Solve for the unknown variable 2/5(3x-4)=-4
Elanso [62]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4

Multiply both sides of (2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4 by 5/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = -4×5/2

5/2×2/5 = (5×2)/(2×5):

(5×2)/(2×5) (3 x - 4) = -4×5/2

5/2 (-4) = (5 (-4))/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (-4×5)/2

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (2×5)/(2×5)×(3 x - 4) = 3 x - 4:

3 x - 4 = (-4×5)/2

(-4)/2 = (2 (-2))/2 = -2:

3 x - 4 = 5×-2

5 (-2) = -10:

3 x - 4 = -10

Add 4 to both sides:

3 x + (4 - 4) = 4 - 10

4 - 4 = 0:

3 x = 4 - 10

4 - 10 = -6:

3 x = -6

Divide both sides of 3 x = -6 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-6)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-6)/3

The gcd of -6 and 3 is 3, so (-6)/3 = (3 (-2))/(3×1) = 3/3×-2 = -2:

Answer:  x = -2
