Students sold 300 tickets for a playoff game in basketball at school. Some tickets are for students and cost $4.00, while the rest are adult tickets that cost $10.00. The total value of all tickets sold was $1950.00.

Answer 1

so baically

reresent
s=number of studne tickes bouthgt
a=number of adult tickets bought

300 tickest sold
total=300
a+s=300


value=rate times number of peple

student value=4s
adults value=10a
total value=1950
4s+10a=1950



a. system of equations are
s+a=300
4s+10a=1950



b. solve

s+a=300
4s+10a=1950

a+s=300
multiply by -4
-4s-4a=-1200
add to other eqaution

4s+10a=1950
-4s-4a=-1200 +
0s+6a=750

6a=750
divide 6
a=125


subsiute
s+a=300
s+125=300
subtract 125
s=175






a. s+a=300
4s+10a=1950

b. solution above
175 students
125 aduls
