Answer:
lets call the children, c, and call adult, a,
c+a= 52 eq 1: a=52-c
c=3a eq 2
take a's value from eq 1 and plug it into eq 2
c=3(52-c)
c=156-3c
4c=156
c=39 the number of children that attended the ball game.

Answer:
Y = 1/4x-1
X = 4y-1
Step-by-step explanation:
layout the equations :
x+1/y = 4 y+1/x = 1/4
solve the equations, remember to switch sides switch signs solving the equations will give us the value of the letter
x+1/y = 4
x+1 = 4y
x=4y-1
***
y+1/x = 1/4
y+1 = 1/4x
y = 1/4x-1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Both equations have -7y. You can eliminate them by subtracting one equation from the other:
Multiply equation 1 by -1, then add it to equation 2:
-2x + 7y = 74
3x - 7y = -83
———————
x = -9
2x - 7y = -74
2(-9) - 7y = -74
-7y = -56
Y = 8
(x,y) = (-9, 8)
