We can solve this by substitution. Let's make the second equation equal y by adding y to both sides. The equation would look like:
x-5=y
Let's plug that equation in for y in the first equation.
2x+x-5-10=0
Let's add like terms.
2x+x-15=0
Let's add 15 to both sides.
2x+x=15
3x=15
Now divide.
15÷3=5=x
Now, x equals 5, so that means y equals 0. Let's check in both equations.
2(5)+0-10=0
10+0-10=0
0=0
5-0-5=0
0=0
So, the solution of the system shown is (5,0). I also included a graph so you could see where they intercept. The solution, when put in the graph, is the x intercept.
Answer:
Senior citizen ticket = $4, student ticket = $6
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this, form a system of equations where x = the cost for a senior citizen ticket and y = the cost for a student ticket.
Since 12 senior citizen tickets and 14 students tickets cost $132, you get
12x + 14y = 132.
Since 12 senior citizen tickets and 10 students tickets cost $108, you get
12x + 10y = 108.
You can subtract those two equations, so
12x + 14y = 132
-(12x + 10y = 108)
and you get
4y = 24
divide both sides by 4
y = 6
substituting into the equation 12x + 10y = 108,
12x + 10(6) = 108
12x + 60 = 108
subtract 60 from both sides
12x = 48
divide both sides by 12
x = 4
A senior citizen ticket costs $4 and a student ticket costs $6.
Total tax is $10.19, so the total price would be $177.19
The answer is the third option
