B. At the circus, three adult tickets and five child tickets cost $51, and five adult tickets

Mathematics

Answer: x = $7, y = $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of an adult ticket

Let y be the cost of a children's ticket

Translate these sentences to algebra:

At the circus, three adult tickets and five child tickets cost $51: 3x + 5y = 51

Five adult tickets and two child tickets cost $47: 5x + 2y = 47

Now we have two equations. Let's use substitution to solve.

3x + 5y = 51

3x = 51 - 5y

.: x = 17 - 5y/3

Now substitute this value of x into the second equation to find the numerical value of y:

5(17 - 5y/3) + 2y = 47

85 - 25y/3 + 2y = 47

-19y/3 = -38

-19y = -114

.: y = 6

Now find x:

x = 17 - 5y/3

x = 17 - 10

.: x = 7

So an adult ticket costs $7, and a child ticket costs $6 :)

If the average of x, y, and z is 32 and the average of y and z is 27, what is the average of x and 2x?
Orlov [11]
X + y + z = 32 * 3
27 + 27 + x = 96
X = 54
2x = 108
Average of x and 2x = (54+108) / 2 = 164 / 2 = 82
Average of X and 2X = 82

Is this a function ?
Goshia [24]
I don’t think so, a graph is a function only if the vertical line passes through the graph at one distinct point.

But I’m not exactly sure cus I’m still learning geogebra
