A small movie theater sells children's tickets for $4 each and adult tickets for $10 each for an animated
movie. The theater sells a total of $388 in ticket sales.
(a) If c represents the number of children's (b) Show that c= 52 and a =18 is a solution to
tickets sold and a represents the number of
this equation (not system).
adult tickets sold, write an equation that
models the information shown above.
C) Show that after multiplying both sides of the
equation in (a) by 2, c=52 and a=18 is
still a solution to this equation.
(d) How can you interpret multiplying both sides
of the equation by 2 in letter (a) in terms of
ticket prices and total ticket sales?

Linear equation that models the given equation is 4c + 10a = 388 where c is the number of children ticket sold and a is the number of adult ticket sold. c = 52 and a = 18 is a solution to the linear equation. Multiplying a constant on both sides of the equation won't affect its solutions.

What is linear equation?

A linear equation is an algebraic equation where each term has an exponent of 1 and when this equation is graphed, it always results in a straight line. This is the reason why it is named as a 'linear equation'.

Let number of children ticket sold be c.

Let number of adult ticket sold be a.

Cost of one children ticket = $4.

Cost of one adult ticket = $10.

Total sales = $388

Linear equation that models the above equation: 4c + 10a = 388

Checking if a = 18 and c = 52 is a solution of the equation. It can be done by substituting the values.

LHS: 4c + 10a = 4*52 + 10*18 = 388

RHS: 388

Hence, c = 52 and a = 18 is a solution to the linear equation.

Multiplying 2 to both sides of the equation:

2(4c + 10a) = 2(388)

8c + 20a = 776

Substituting c = 52 and a = 18.

8(52) + 20(18) = 776

c = 52 and a = 18 is still a solution to the linear equation.
