A carnival game charges different prices for adults and children to play. Kids tickets are two dollars and adult tickets are five dollars. The carnival sold 36 tickets to this game and collected $135. Set up a system of equations that can be used to solve for the number of adult and children tickets sold for this game

kids= 15

adults= 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

let the number of kids be x

and  adults be y

Kids tickets are two dollars and adult tickets are five dollars

The carnival sold 36 tickets to this game and collected $135

so the system of the equation is

2x+5y=1351

x+y=362

from 2 x= 36-y

put x= 36-y in 1

2( 36-y)+5y=135

72-2y+5y=135

collect like terms

3y=135-72

3y=63

divide both sides by 3

y= 63/3

y=21

put y= 21 in 2

x+21= 36

x=36-21

x=15

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.

this may not be at all, but i use the same website you're using for school, and if i'm stuck doing one of these i try to look for it on the section.
