Help with question 2 also may you check my answers

Answer 1

Solution:

Let the total number of adult tickets sold be x, let the number of child tickets sold be z, Thusand let the total amount be y, in dollars.

Thus;

$\begin{gathered} x+z=150.............equation1 \\ \\ 10x+6z=y..............equation2 \end{gathered}$

From equation 1;

$z=150-x.....................equation3$

Substitute equation 3 in equation 2;

$\begin{gathered} 10x+6(150-x)=y \\ \\ 10x+900-6x=y \\ \\ 4x+900=y \\ \\ 900=y-4x \end{gathered}$

ANSWER: The equation that represents the relationship between the number of adult tickets sold, x, and the total amount, y, in dollars, raised from ticket sales is;

$y-4x=900$

It can also be;

$y=4x+900$
