Question

He school that Tony goes to is selling tickets to a play. On the first day of ticket sales the school

Answer 1

Answer:

The price of 1 adult ticket is 12 dollars, and the price of a ticket for one student is 7 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a system of equations for the two days that the play was shown.

Let x = the price of an adult ticket

Let y = the price of a student ticket

For the first day:

9x+8y=164

For the second day:

2x+7y=73

Now, we can solve using the elimination method. Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 9. Then swap the order of the equations.

18x+63y= 657

-

18x+16y= 328

0x+ 47y= 329

divide both sides by 47

y = 7

Plug in 7 for y for the 2nd equation

2x+7(7)=73

2x+49=73

subtract 49 from both sides

2x= 24

divide both sides by 2

x = 12

Check:

2(12)+7(7)=73

24+49= 73!
