Question

Part A: At a fair, Derrick used a total of 16 tickets to ride the roller coaster 4 times and the bumper cars 2 times. Javier used a total of 12 tickets to ride the roller coaster 2 times and the bumper cars 3 times. Let x represent the number of tickets it takes to ride a roller coaster. Let y represent the number of tickets it takes to ride the bumper cars. Model Derrick and Javier's trip to the fair by creating linear equations to represent how Derrick and Javier each used their ride tickets. 4 X + y = Derrick: Javier: X + Blank 1: 4 Blank 2: Blank 3: Blank 4:

Answer 1

x: number of tickets it takes to ride a roller coaster

y: number of tickets it takes to ride the bumper cars

Derrick used a total of 16 tickets to ride the roller coaster 4 times and the bumper cars 2 times, that is,

4x + 2y = 16

Javier used a total of 12 tickets to ride the roller coaster 2 times and the bumper cars 3 times, that is,

2x + 3y = 12
