Respuesta :

The adults that attended the showing is 29.

The children that attended the showing is 16

What are the linear equations that represent the question?

$4.50a + $2c = $162.50 equation 1

a + c = 45 equation 2

Where:

  • a = number of adults tickets sold
  • c = number of children's tickets sold

How many tickets for children and adults were sold?

Multiply equation 2 by 2

2a + 2b = 90 equation 3

2.50a = 72.50 equation 3

a = 29

45 - 29 = 16

Subtract equation 3 from equation 1

Here is the complete question:
