Question

Can someone please help me you have to explain your answer plzzz help
?!?!?!?!?!

Answer 1

Question 1

• Let number of adult tickets - x, student tickets - y

Required equations:

• x + y = 8
• 7.25x + 5.50y = 52.75

Solve by substitution x = 8 - y

• 7.25(8 - y) + 5.50y = 52.75
• 58 - 7.25y + 5.50y = 52.75
• 1.75y = 5.25
• y = 5.25/1.75
• y = 3

Find x:

• x = 8 - 3 = 5

Answer: 5 adults and 3 students

Question 2

• Pair of gloves costs- x, hats cost- y

Equations:

• 2x + 4y = 43
• 2x + 2y = 30

Solve by elimination, subtract the equations:

• 2y = 43 - 30
• 2y = 13
• y = 6.5

Find x:

• 2x = 30 - 13
• 2x = 17
• x = 8.5

Answer: Gloves cost $8.5, hats cost $6.5
