Respuesta :

when the philies play the dodgers, the tickets for three adults and three children are $75. for two adults and four children the total admission cost is $62. So, by using equation formula:

the cost of each adult is $19

and each child ticket is $6

What is an equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that proves two mathematical expressions are equal in algebra, and this is how it is most commonly used.

The relationship between the two expressions on each side of the sign is represented by a mathematical equation. One variable and an equal sign are often present.

Let us assume,

tickets for adults = a

tickets for children = c

Now,

3a + 3c = $75 ........ (i)

2a + 4c = $62 ......... (ii)

Multiply the equation (i) ×2 and equation (ii) × 3, we get -

6a + 6c =  $150 ........ (iii)

6a + 12c = $186 .........(iv)

Now, subtract equation (iv) from (iii) we get -

or, 6c = $36

or, c = $6

Now, putting the value of c in equation (iii) we get -

6a + 6×6 = $150

6a = $114

a = $19

Thus, the cost of each adult is $19

and each child ticket is $6
