adult ticket = 10
child ticket = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
for example…
- adult ticket = x
- child ticket = y
so that we get a system of equations
9x + 5y = 110…Equation 1
x + y = 14…Equation 2
solve the system of equations, this time I will use the Elimination and Substitution method
9x + 5y = 110
x + y = 14 (multiplied by 5)
↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
9x + 5y = 110
5x + 5y = 70
___________ _
4x = 40
x = 10
to find value of y subtitute x to one of Equation. for example from second Equation…
x + y = 14
10 + y = 14
y = 14 - 10
y = 4
∴ So, the number of each ticket was she bought is 10 adult ticket and 4 child ticket.
