Question

The local school raises by selling tickets to play, during two days. In the equations 5x+2y=48and3x+2y=32 x represents the cost for each adult ticket and y represents the cost for each student ticket, what is the cost for each adult ticket?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:5x +2y=48-I)

3x+2y=32-II)

Subtracting II from I we get :

5x-3x+2y-2y=48-32

Or 2x=16

Or x=8

Substituting in II

3×8+2y=32

Or 24+2y=32

Or 12+y=16

Or y=4

Or

So x=8 y=4
