Which of the following systems of equations can be solved to determine the number of children, ccc, and adults, aaa, who attended the concert?

Answer 1

c = 4a + 10

5c + 8a = 1730

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let c represent the number of children that attended the concert.

Let a represent the number of adults that attended the concert.

At one of the concerts, each adult brought 4 children with them, and 10 children attended without an adult. This means that the number of children that attended is

c = 4a + 10

Tickets for a concert were $5 for each child and $8 for each adult. The total ticket sales were $1730. It means that

5c + 8a = 1730

Therefore, the systems of equations that can be solved to determine the number of children, c, and adults that attended the concert is

c = 4a + 10

5c + 8a = 1730
