A family went to an amusement park and paid $12 for each adult and $8 for each child. A group of 15 people went to the park and it cost $140. This system of equations models this situation, where x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
How many children were in the group?
x + y = 15
12x + 8y = 140
Answer: 1) A. (2, 3)
2) B. (-1, -1)
3) 10 children
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
Since the y is already isolated in the first equation, to solve the system you simply substitute that expression into the second equation and then solve, finding the value of x:
And then you substitute that value into the first equation and solve to find the value of y:
So, the solution of the system is (2, 3).
2)
Since the y is already isolated in both equations, to solve the system you simply equalize the first and the second expression and then solve, finding the value of x:
And then you substitute that value into the first or the second equation (whichever you like) and solve to find the value of y:
So, the solution of the system is (-1, -1).
3)
To solve the system, the easiest way is to isolate the y in the first equation and then substitute the expression obtained into the second equation, finding the value of x.
From the first equation:
Substituting:
And then you substitute that value into the first equation and find the value of y:
So, there were 10 children in the group.

Answer:
sub 5 25 - 5 = 20
-5/2a=20
mult 2 by each side to get rid of fraction
-5a=40
divide -5 from 40
a=-8
Answer:
The answer is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
-5/2 x 8= 20 and if you add 5 it is 25.
