Answer 6

angelo took a group of people to the movies and spent $80 on tickets. Adult tickets cost $10 and child tickets cost $6. The equation to represent his cost is 10A + 6C = $80. If there were 5 children in the group, how many adult tickets did he purchase? Show your work and use a complete sentence to explain your solution in the context of the original problem.

Answer 7

10A+6C=80
10A+6(5)=80
10A+30=80
Subtract 30 from each side of the equation to get 10A=50 b/c the 30's cancel out, and 80-30=50
you then divide the remaining 50$ by 10, b/c that's the price of adult tickets.
-your answer would be 5 adult tickets, and 5 children tickets
