In a fraction, the fraction bar means divided by. So to find the decimal form equivalent of a fraction like 1/4 you need to solve the math problem 1 dived by 4.
1 ÷ 4= 0.25
If the number of adult tickets are taken as x then the number of children’s tickets can be taken as (89 — x ) then we can set up the equation
4.10(x) + 2.70 (89 — x) = 331.30
4.10x + 240.3 — 2.70x = 331.30
1.4x = 331.30 — 240.30
1.4x = 91
X = 65
Therefore 65 adult tickets and 24 children tickets as 89 — 65 is 24
Answer: C) 0
The lines are parallel. They never cross. To have a solution, the lines need to intersect. Each intersection is a solution. That's why there are no solutions here. The system is inconsistent.
Note how the slopes are both 1/2 while the y intercepts are different. Parallel lines have equal slopes but different y intercepts.
