The Arcadia Theater charges $4 for adult tickets and $3 for student tickets. Mr. Steele purchased 9 tickets (some student and some adult) for $31. Write a system of equations that could be used to find a, the number of adult tickets, and s, the number of student tickets Mr. Steele purchased. You do NOT have to solve the system of equations.

Respuesta :

The correct answer will be: $31 = $4a + $3s (y = mx + b) meaning if Mr. Steele buys 4 adults tickets then he also bought 5 student tickets. $31 = 4(4) + 3(5) -- 31 = 16 + 15 -- 31 = 31

The system of equations are x + y = 9 and 4x + 3y =31

What is Linear equation?

An equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on a graph.

consider,

Number of adult ticket = x

Number of student ticket = y

Cost of adult ticket = $4

cost of student ticket = $3

Number of ticket Mr. Steele purchased = 9

Total cost = $31

Then the equations will become,

x + y =9

4x + 3y =31

Hence, the system of equations that could be used are x + y =9 and 4x + 3y =31
