(d) Statement one: Two adult tickets and three children tickets cost $43.00 Statement two: One adult ticket and one ticket for a child cost $18.50

(i) Let x represent the cost of an adult ticket and y the cost of a ticket for a child.
Write TWO equations in x and y to represent the information. (2mks)

(ii) Solve the equation to determine the cost of an adult ticket

The cost of an adult ticket is $12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The cost of two adult tickets and three children tickets = $43.00

The cost of one adult ticket and one child ticket = $18.50

Whereby the cost of an adult ticket is represented by x and the cost of a child's ticket is represented by y, we get the following two simultaneous equations;

2·x + 3·y = 43.00...(1)

x + y = 18.5...(2)

(ii) Multiplying equation (2) by 2 and subtracting the result from equation (1) gives;

2·x + 3·y - 2×(x + y) = 43 - 2×18.5 = 6

2·x - 2·x + 3·y - 2·y = 0 + y = 6

∴ y = 6

The cost of each the children ticket = $6.00

From equation (2), where y = 6, we get;

x + y = 18.5

∴ x + 6 = 18.5

x = 18.5 - 6 = 12.5

The cost of an adult ticket, x = $12.50.

//blooming serenity//

beautiful in the morning

mysterious at night

wonderous nature souring

with all it's mystical might

the flower that blooms

to the fox that looms

nocturnal creatures

with various features

a blooming flower soon in sight

as a new little hatchling fears to take flight  

afraid to leave it's calming nest,

but dear little bird, mother knows best

as sure as there are stars in the sky,

life is not about who, where what, when or why-

it's the journey that follows

adventures we swallow

of   nature's deep wonders,

natural disasters and storm's thunders.

blooming serenity

life and nature, truly is heavenly.
