The price for 2 student tickets and 4 adult tickets to a play is $50. Adult tickets are $5 more than student tickets. write an the equation

2x + 4y = $50

x = $5, and y = $10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price of student's ticket be represented by $x, and that of adult by $y. So that:

2x + 4y = $50  1

But, given that adult tickets are $5 more that student tickets.

i.e y = x + $5    2

Substitute equation 2 into 1, to have;

2x + 4(x + $5) = $50

2x + 4x + $20 = $50

6x = $30

x = $5

From equation 2,

y = 5 + 5

  = $10

Therefore, the price of student tickets is $5 and adult tickets is $10.

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1

1/8 3/16 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

you put them as all the same denominator and multiply
