The Jones family spent $45 on movie tickets for 2 adults and 3 children. The Smith family spent $40 for 2 adults

and 2 children. What are the prices of the adult movie tickets and the child movie tickets?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Adult ticket is $15

Child ticket is $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = adult ticket price

     y = child ticket price

2x + 3y = 45          2x + 2y = 40

-2x - 2y = -40

          y = 5            2x + 2(5) = 40

                                 2x + 10 = 40

                                 2x = 30

                                   x = 15
