The price for 2 student tickets and 4 adult tickets to a play is $50. Adult tickets are $5 more than student tickets. write an the equation

2x + 4y = $50

x = $5, and y = $10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price of student's ticket be represented by $x, and that of adult by $y. So that:

2x + 4y = $50  1

But, given that adult tickets are $5 more that student tickets.

i.e y = x + $5    2

Substitute equation 2 into 1, to have;

2x + 4(x + $5) = $50

2x + 4x + $20 = $50

6x = $30

x = $5

From equation 2,

y = 5 + 5

  = $10

Therefore, the price of student tickets is $5 and adult tickets is $10.

use substitution to solve each system of equations. y = x + 5 3x + y = 25 62/87,21 y = x + 5 3x + y = 25 substitute x + 5 for y in the second equation. substitute the solution for x into either equation to find y. the solution is (5, 10)

step-by-step explanation:

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5
