Answer:
where are the options
Step-by-step explanation:
30% = .3
.3(24.40a + 14.50c)
24.40 = cost of adult ticket
14.50 = cost of child ticket
a = # of adult tickets sold
c = # of child tickets sold
.3 * 24.40a + .3 * 14.50c
answer: 7.32a + 4.35c
After staring at this for a few seconds, I think the equation
is asking you to simplify the left hand side so that it has a form matching the right hand side, and [1] and [2] are placeholders. My guess is that they're supposed to be integers.
Notice that
Then multiplying by -5, we have
so I believe [1] = -25, and [2] = 6.
I don't think its possible to do this... you have to have 2 equations
