Show ALL work.

Let x = number of children

Let y = number of adults

A. Write 2 equations to model this system:

B. Solve the first equation for x (get the x alone on 1 side): 5 points

C. Use Substitution to solve the equations and determine how many adults and how many children attended

Answer 1

help

Answer 2

Ok

Answer 3

What are you working on I gotta know what type of problem to make

Answer 6

your problem can be modeled by the subsequent system:
\[\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{1.5x + 4y = 5050} \\
{x + y = 2200}
\end{array}} \right.\]
the first equation comes from the total money collected, the second one comes from the total number of person who wants to assist to the performance

Answer 7

so is that for part a ?

Answer 8

yes!

Answer 9

from the second equation I get:
x= 2200-y, now I substitute into the first one so I get:
1.5(2200-y)+4*y=5050
please solve for y

Answer 10

4(2200-x)+1.5*x=5050 ? is that correct ?

Answer 11

yes!

Answer 12

what is x?

Answer 13

the amount of children

Answer 14

now can u help with part C pls and TY

Answer 15

we have to simplify that equation, so we get:
8800-4x+1.5x=5050
please continue

Answer 16

how did u get 8800 ?

Answer 17

i dont get it

Answer 18

4*2200= 8800

Answer 19

oh ok i get it TY

Answer 20

so 3300-1.5x+4y=5500 am i right ?

Answer 21

after that simplification, you should get this equation:
2.5 x= 3750

Answer 22

more steps:
8800-2.5x=5050

Answer 23

2.5 x= 8800-5050

Answer 24

so:
x=3750/2.5=...?

Answer 25

what is:
\[\Large x = \frac{{3750}}{{2.5}} = ...?\]

Answer 26

1500

Answer 27

ok!

Answer 28

now, we have:
y=2200-x=2200-1500=...?

Answer 29

700

Answer 30

that's right!

Answer 31

ty soooooo much can you organize according to the answers to the Parts pls ill right a review and fan and medal you ty again

Answer 32

part A:
the requested system is:
\[\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{1.5x + 4y = 5050} \\
{x + y = 2200}
\end{array}} \right.\]

Answer 33

part B:
the requested equation is:
\[2.5x = 3750\]

Answer 34

part C:
the requested solution is:
\[\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{x = 1500} \\
{y = 700}
\end{array}} \right.\]

Answer 35

yaaaaaaay TY sooooo sooooooo sooooooo much im happy i found you
