kids tickets are 7$ and seniors are4$ i used the guess and check method on this
The childs tickets are $5 and the seniors tickets are $10.You can tell this because looking at the the 3 seniors tickets and 9 childrens tickets bought lets plug it in.
3X+9X=$75
3*10+9*5=$75
30+45=75
Theirs your answer.
We got that kids tickets cost 7 dollars and senior citizens cost 4 dollars. We found this out by guessing and checking.
3*4=12
9*7=63
63+12=75
8*4=32
5*7=35
32+35=67
Plug it in Plug it in:)
Childrens tickets are $5.
3x+9x=$75
3*10+9*5=$75
30+45=75
Oh i forgot the seniors tickets are $10:)
3s+9c=75
I statrted to guess and check and finnally arrived at:
Senior: 10
Child: 5
day1
9+3=12tickets for $75
4*3=12
7*9=63
63+12=75
so kids tickets are $7 and seniors are $4. I guessed and checked to get the answer.
Kids are 4 and Seniors are 7. I guessed and checked.
Okay, so here's our answer:
First, we set up an equation like this:
3x + 9y = 75.
Then we guessed&checked and ended up with this equation:
3(4) + 9(7) = 75.
12 + 63 = 75.
75 = 75.
And for the next problem we did the same thing. We plugged in the answers from the first problem and it worked out evenly. There you go! (:
Ignor my last answer I was wrong.
The answer is child:7 and Senior:12 cause when u times 7 by 9 and 3 times 4 then u add them together and get 75.
When u times 7 by 5 and 8 by 4 then add them together then u get 67.
Children=7 Seniors=4
9c+3s=75
9(7)+3(4)=75
5c+8s=67
5(7)+8(4)=67
The correct answer is child $7 and seniors $4, and I just used the check and guess method.
We forgot to say that...
Seniors are $4 and Kids are $7!
honestly i just started to guss and cheak so here is the awnser:
seniors=$10
child=$5
Kids=$7, $7*9=$63 and $7*5=$35
Problem 1 Problem 2
Seniors=$4, $4*3=$12 and $4*8 $32
Problem 1 Problem 2
I plugged in different numbers until I came up with the right answer(guess and check).
I found this out using guess and check.
Senior Citizen's: $4.00
Kid's: $7.00
3x+9x=$75
3($4)+9($7)=$75
8x+5x=$67
8($4)+5($7)=$67
I got the kids tickets are 10$ and seniors tickets are 5$. I set it up as a equation 3x+9x=75.Then used the guess and check method on it.Out of that I got 3(10)+9(5)=75 and if worked out you get 30+45=75.
kids-$7
seniors-$4
7*9=63
3*4=12
63+12=75
Then for the next prblem I multiplied the kids tickets by seven and the seniors by 4. It worked out right just like the first one.
The answer is that the senior tickets were 4$ and the kids were 7$
How i came up with this is guess and check. See my 1st answer was that the kids tickets was 6$ and the seniors was 7$. Then when I plugged that answer into the 2nd equation it was wrong. So my guess changed.
