Answer 1

Answer:

1st and 6th option, 35 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know adult tickets are x and children tickets are y.

The total number of tickets is 57, so

x + y = 57

The adult tickets are worth 6 and the children's tickets are worth 2.50.

The total cost is 265.

6x + 2.5y = 265

Now, the system of equations.

6x + 2.5y = 265

-6x - 6y = -342

-3.5y = -77

y = -77/-3.5

y = 22

Plugging y back in

x + 22 = 57

x = 35 adult tickets sold

Answer 2

Given↷

* $265 worth of tickets were sold

* Adult tickets cost $6

* Child tickets cost $2.50

* 57 tickets were sold

To Find ↷

Let x represents the number of adult tickets sold and y as the number of child ticket sold

Which squations equation represents the scenerio? select 2 options

Answer ↷

• x ⇢No. of adult tickets sold
• y⇢No. of child ticket sold

so ,the equations would be

⤿ x + y = 57 ✓

⤿ 6x + 2.5y = 265 ✓

Solution↷

x + y = 57.....(1)

6x + 2.5y = 265.....(2)

Multiplying equation 1st by 6

we get,

6x + 6y = 342 ...(3)

subtracting equation (3) by equation (2)

we get,

6x + 6y = 342

-6x + 2.5y= 265

_____________

ㅤㅤ 3.5y =

ㅤㅤ y = 77/3.5

ㅤㅤ y = 22

_______________

• y = 22
• x = 57-22 = 35

______________________________

• A child ticket⇢ $ 2.5 x 22= $ 55
• An adult ticket⇢ $ 6 x 35 = $ 210

_______________________________

• Total cost ⇢ $55 +210 = 265
