Answer:
An adult ticket is 17
A childs ticket costs 12 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = adult price
c = child price
3a + 4c = 99
2a + 3c = 70
Multiply the first equation by 2
2(3a + 4c) = 99*2
6a + 8c = 198
Multiply the second equation by -3
-3 (2a + 3c) = 70*-3
-6a -9c = -210
Add these new equations together
6a + 8c = 198
-6a -9c = -210
----------------------
-c = -12
Multiply by -1
c = 12
A childs ticket costs 12 dollars
Now we need to find the price of an adult ticket
2a + 3c = 70
2a + 3(12) = 70
2a +36 = 70
Subtract 36 from each side
2a +36-36 =70-36
2a = 34
Divide by 2
2a/2 = 34/2
a = 17
An adult ticket is 17
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
If they're perpendicular, that means that angle ECM = 90 degrees and angle ACE = 90 degrees. To figure out if this works, plug that into the two equations they give:
ECM = 3x + 15
becomes
90 = 3x + 15
75 = 3x
25 = x
ACE = 4x - 10
becomes
90 = 4x - 10
100 = 4x
25 = x
Since you get x = 25 for both, you know that they are perpendicular because they both measure 90 degrees
