Question

A school club visits. a museum, Students tickets cost $ 6. Non- student ticket’s cost $12. The club paid $240 for tickets. (1) Define variables (1) Create an equation that models this situation (2) Rewrite equations slope intercept form.

Answer 1

"Define variables"

→ The number of student's tickets = a

→ The number of non-student tickets = b

→ the total cost represented = y

"Create an equation that models this situation"

→ y = $5 × a + $10 × b

"Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form"

→ y = $5 × a + $10 × b

→ y = 5a + 10b

→ 250 = 5a + 10b
