WILL AWARD MEDAL!!! One adult and 3 student tickets cost $11.50. Three adult and 2 student tickets cost $17.00. How much does each kind of ticket cost?

OpenStudy (landon34):

do you know how to make this into an equation?

OpenStudy (sparklyme):

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it would be: x+3y=11.50 3x+2y=17.00 Is that right? I'm just not sure what to do from there. I know how to solve a problem like that with two equations and stuff, but I' not sure if I am supposed to solve them together or by themselves. Thanks, @Landon34

OpenStudy (landon34):

Is that all u need?

OpenStudy (sparklyme):

What do you mean?

OpenStudy (landon34):

Is that all the help you needed?

OpenStudy (sparklyme):

No...

OpenStudy (sparklyme):

First of all, if that the correct equation? Second, would I solve them together (ex. using substition, elimination, etc.)?

OpenStudy (landon34):

ok, you said thanks @landon34, so I thought that was all you needed.

OpenStudy (landon34):

you can check out this cool website to solve your equation. www.geteasysolution.com

OpenStudy (sparklyme):

Not working...Do you know how to do it, or no?

OpenStudy (landon34):

what I got was x = 11.50 + -3y

OpenStudy (sparklyme):

me too.

OpenStudy (landon34):

an adult ticket costs $8.50.

OpenStudy (landon34):

a child ticket costs $1.00

OpenStudy (landon34):

@sparklyme

OpenStudy (landon34):

hes offline bruh.

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Your equations are right. I know the prices, but I found it in a way that's pretty complicated. I could try to explain my thinking of it, if you want
