Question

NEED HELP ASAP!!! At a movie theater, the price of 2 adult tickets and 4 child tickets is $48. The price of 5 adult tickets and 2 child tickets is $64.

Let x be the cost of an adult ticket and let y be the cost of a child ticket. Write and solve a system of equations to find the ticket price for one adult and for one child.

Answer 1

Explanation:

2x+4y=48

5x+2y=64

Adult ticket: $10 Child ticket: $7

For 2 adults and 3 children with the given price per ticket, the family having brought $40 as a budget, their budget would not be high enough as the total would come to be $41. They'd be a dollar short.
