Question

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks.

Answer 1

Answer:

Adults $ 17

Students: $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Adults: x

Students: y

a) 25x + 31y = 673

b) 27x +31y = 707

Elimination:

a) -1(25x + 31y = 673) = -25 -31y = -673

a + b

= (-25 -31y = -673) + (27x + 31y = 707)

= 2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

Substitution a or b:

a) 25(17) + 31y = 673

425 + 31y = 673

31y = 673 - 425

31y = 248

y = 248/31

y = 8
