Answer:

The number of adults tickets and student tickets purchased is 5 and 3.

Given that,

Tickets to a movie cost $7.25 for adults and $5.50 for students.

A group of friends purchased 8 tickets for $52.75.

Here we assume the no of adult tickets and no of student tickets be x and y.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

7.25x + 5.50y = 52.75 .............(i)

x + y = 8

x = 8 - y..................(2)

Now put the x value in the equation (1)

So,  

7.25(8-y) + 5.50y = 52.75

7.25 × 8 - 7.25y + 5.50y = 52.75

58 - 1.75y = 52.75

5.25 = 1.75y

y = 3

So,  

x = 8 - 3

= 5

Therefore we can conclude that the number of adults tickets and student tickets purchased is 5 and 3.

-Hope this helps<3

Answer:

y = -5x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start with the first given values for x and y

(2,10)

Lets try out the first equation

y = 5x + 4

y = 5(2) + 4

y = 14

This equation wouldn't work because the y value is not 10 when the x value is 2

y = 5x + 20

y = 5(2) + 20

y = 30

This equation doesn't work either

y = -5x + 20

y = -5(2) + 20

y = -10 + 20

y = 10

This would be the correct equation since your y value is 10 when the x value is 2

lubasha [3.4K]
8 quarters = (8 x .25) = $2.00

5 dimes = (5 x .10) = $.50

$2.00 + $.50 = $2.50

8 + 5 = 13
