Question 852073: A family buys tickets to a film. The tickets cost $64 for 2 adults and 4 children. An adult ticket costs $5 more than a child ticket. Find the prices for an adult ticket and a child ticket. Answer by Stengo46(2) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a = Cost of an adult ticket
Equation: 2a + 4(a-5) = 64
Solve for a to get 14 dollars. Since an adult ticket is 5 dollars more than a child ticket, 14 - 5 gets 9 for a child ticket.
Final answer: Adult ticket is 14 dollars, and a child is 9 dollars.
