Tickets to a movie cost $11 for adults and $7 for students. A group of friends purchased 8 tickets for $76. Write a system of equations to represent the situation. How many adult tickets and
student tickets were purchased
PLEASE HELP ME

5 Adult tickets were purchased and 3 student tickets were purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 Adult tickets were purchased and 3 student tickets were purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the problem as an equation like this

11x+7x=76

Now make an equation for the number of purchased tickets. Let x be adult and y be students.

x+y=8

Rewrite x + y = 8 as y = -x +8

Substitute y = -x + 8 into the first equation for y.

11x+7(-x+8)=76

11x+(-7x)+56=76

solve for 11x+(-7x)

4x+56+76

subtract 56 from both sides

4x=20

Divide both sides by 4

X=5

x + y = 8

5 + y = 8

y = 3

5 Adult tickets were purchased and 3 student tickets were purchased.

60 for the first and 130 for the second

step-by-step explanation:

45.36 feet per second

step-by-step explanation:

tyrone travels 30 miles in 58.2 minutes.  

1 mile = 5280 feet; this means he travels

30(5280) = 158400 feet in 58.2 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds; this means he travels 158400 feet in

58.2(60) = 3492 seconds.

this gives us the unit rate of

158400/3492 = 45.36 feet per second.
