Answer: adults = $10
Step-by-step explanation:
x = adults
y = children
2x + 2y = 30
2x + 3y = 35
Using the elimination method:
2x + 2y = 30
-2x - 3y = -35 (multiplied by -1, to give 2x -2x = 0)
Solve for y...
2y = 30
-3y = -35
Add together...
-y = -5
Multiply by -1 to give positive value for y...
y = $5
Plug into one of the original equation to find x...
2x + 10 = 30
2x = 20
x = $10
