Question

One senior ticket and 11 student tickets made total 179 the second day 14 senior citizen tickets and seven student ticket cost 301 what’s the cost for one senior ticket and one student ticket

Answer 1

x+11y=179 eqution #1

14x+7y= 301 #2

2x+y= 43 #2 divided by 7

2x+22y= 358 #1 times 2

21y= 315 subtract last two equations

3y= 45

y=45/3= $15 for students

x=179-11(15)=179-165=$14 for seniors

x+y=14+15 = $29 for 1 senior & 1 student
