At the performance of Seussical the Musical at your local high school, there are adult tickets and student/child tickets. You're trying to remember the cost of each to tell your extended family to come see the
musical. Your friend, her mom, and her little sister paid a total of $23 on opening night, and you know that
another family paid $39 for two adults and three students. If 2 is cost of adult tickets and y is cost of student tickets, the two equations for these situations can be written as:

The correct answer is -

x+2y = 23

2x+3y= 39

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

cost of family 1 = 23

number of adults in family one = 1

number of children = 2

cost of family 2 = 39

number of adults in family 1 = 2

number of children = 3

solution:

for the first condition of family one-

In this case, there is only one adult and 2 children and they paid 23 then if the adult cost is x and the children ticket cost is y then

number of adults*x+number of children*y = total cost

1*x + 2*y = 23

x+2y= 23 .......equation 1.

for family two:

In this case, there is two adult and 3 children and they paid 39 then if the adult cost is x and the children ticket cost is y then

number of adults*x+number of children*y = total cost

2*x + 3*y = 39

= 2x+3y = 39....... equation 2

thus, the correct equations are:

x+2y = 23

2x+3y= 39
