Adult tickets x Numbers
children tickets y Numbers
Equation for tickets total distance
x + y = 136 .............1
Equation for amount spent
4 x + 3.25 y = 487.75 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by -3.25
Multiply (2) by 1
-3.25 x -3.25 y = -442.00
4.00 3.25 y = 487.75
Add the two equations
0.75 x = 45.75
/ 0.75
x = 61.00
plug value of x in (1)
1.00 x + y = 136.00
61.00 + y = 136.00
y = 75.00
y= 75.00
Adult tickets 61 Numbers
children tickets 75 Numbers
