2 adult tickets and 3 student tickets cost $12.
1 Adult ticket and 2 student tickets costs $7.
How much does each kind of ticket cost?
Let x be the price of a student ticket and y be the price of an adult ticket.....and we have
3x + 2y = 12
2x + y = 7 which implies that y = 7 - 2x...........subbing this into the first equation, we have
3x + 2 [ 7 - 2x] = 12 simplify
3x + 14 - 4x = 12
-x + 14 = 12 add x to both sides and subtract 12 from both sides
x = 2 the price of the student ticet is $2
And using y = 7 - 2x, the price of the adult ticket is : 7 - 2(2) = 7 - 4 = $3
