Jada purchases movie tickets online. She buys 2 tickets for adults and 4 tickets for children. The cost of a ticket for a child is $5 less than the cost of an adult ticket. She pays an additional charge of $4.50 for taxes and fees. If her total bill comes to $62.50, which equation can Jada use to determine the cost of an adult ticket, ?

Step-by-step explanation:

58 is the answer without tax

so the cost of an adult ticket is 13 dollars

and the kids ticket is 8 dollars

use system of equations to solve this.

58=2x+4y

y=x-4

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
