Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of $20 tickets and y represent the number of $30 tickets.

a) the equation that states that the sum of the tickets sold is 1800 is

x + y = 1800

b) the amount of money received from the sale of $20 tickets is 20x

c) the amount of money received from the sale of $30 tickets is 30y

d) an equation that states that the total amount received from the sale is $42,000 is

20x + 30y = 42000 - - - - - - - - - -1

e) we would substitute x = 1800 - y into equation 1, it becomes

20(1800 - y) + 30y = 42000

36000 - 20y + 30y = 42000

- 20y + 30y = 42000 - 36000

10y = 6000

y = 6000/10

y = 600

x = 1800 - y = 1800 - 600

x = 1200

a.  equation is 20x + 30y = 4200

b.  the sale of $20 tickets is $36,000.

c.  the sale of $30 tickets is $54,000.

d.  equation is 20x + 30y = 4200

e.  600 tickets are of $30 and 1200 tickets are of $20.

Given

$42,000 from the sale of 1800 tickets.

The promoter charges $20 for some tickets and $30 for the others.

Linear system

It is a system of an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. A one-dimension figure that has no width. It is a combination of infinite points side by side.

How to find x and y?

Let x represent the number of $20 tickets and y represent the number of $30 tickets. $42,000 from the sale of 1800 tickets. then the equation will be

20x + 30y = 4200

a.  equation is 20x + 30y = 4200

b.  the sale of $20 tickets will be

20 x 1800 = 36,000

the sale of $20 tickets is $36,000.

c.   the sale of $30 tickets will be

30 x 1800 = 54,000

the sale of $30 tickets is $54,000.

d.  equation is 20x + 30y = 4200

e.  600 tickets are of $30 and 1200 tickets are of $20.
