What is the answer for this word problem?? The school that Scott goes to is selling tickets to a play. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 9 adult tickets and 4 student tickets for a total of $177. The school took in $73 on the second day by selling 1 adult ticket and 4 student tickets. Find the price of an adult ticket and the price of a student ticket.

Price of an adult ticket $

Price of a child's ticket $

adult $13   student $15

Step-by-step explanation:

A=adult        S = student

9A + 4S = 177

1A + 4S =  73

Multiply the second by (-1)

9A +4S = 177

-1A -4S = -73

ADD BOTH (4S will be cancelled)

  8A = 104

   A = 13      ( Adult ticket = $13)

13 + 4S = 73

4S = 60

S = 15  ( student ticket $15)

step-by-step explanation:

is their an equation anywhere i can take a   look at it and see if i am right.

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.
