5x + y = 9....multiply by 7
10x - 7y = -18
----------------
35x + 7y = 63 (result of multiplying by 7)
10x - 7y = -18
----------------add
45x = 45
x = 45/45
x = 1
5x + y = 9
5(1) + y = 9
5 + y = 9
y = 9 - 5
y = 4
solution is : (1,4)
=========================
-4x + 9y = 9
x - 3y = -6 ....multiply by 4
----------------
-4x + 9y = 9
4x - 12y = -24 (result of multiplying by 4)
---------------add
- 3y = - 15
y = -15/-3
y = 5
x - 3y = -6
x - 3(5) = -6
x - 15 = -6
x = -6 + 15
x = 9
solution is : (9,5)
16.22 divided by 2 = your answer. (8.11)
Answer:
The price of an adult ticket it $5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we would find the system of equations. We would set up two equations that will represent the situation.
Let c = price per children ticket
Let a = price per adult ticket
Santo:
5c + 1a = 16.25
Hulda:
4c + 3a = 24
5c + 1a = 16.25 -> a = 16.25 - 5c
4c + 3a = 24
4c + 3(16.25 - 5c) = 24
4c + 48.75 - 15c = 24
-11c + 48.75 = 24
-48.75 -48.75
-11c = -24.75
/-11 /-11
c = 2.25
5c + a = 16.25
5(2.25) + a = 16.25
11.25 + a = 16.25
-11.25 -11.25
a = 5
a = $5 , c = $2.25
