At the city Museum child admission is $6.40 in adult admission is $9.70 on Sunday 149 tickets were sold for a total sales of $1145 how many adult tickets were sold that day

Adult=58

Step-by-step explanation:

c=child, a=adult

6.4c+9.7a=1145 equation 1

c+a=149 equation 2

a=149-c modified equation 2 to isolate a

6.4c+9.7(149-c)=1145 substitute value of a from equation 1 into equation 2

6.4c+1445.3-9.7c=1145

-3.3c=-300.3

c=91

solve for a

c+a=149

91+a=149

a=58

Check

6.4c+9.7a=1145

6.4(91)+9.7(58)=1145

582.40+562.60=1145

1145=1145

yes

step-by-step explanation:

so of course you want to start by plugging the 5 in which goes to 7(5)+3(5)=50 because 7*5=35 and 3*5=15 and then add them together, then plug in the 5 to the other equation as well 9(5)+5=50 because 9*5= 45 and then add 5 and so yes they are equivalent.
