Respuesta :

Answer:

A. Adult=68, seniors=25B. 10a + 10s=1270. a + s=93

Step-by-step explanation:

15a + 10s =1270 equation 1

a + s =93 equation 2

a=93-s. Isolate a for equation 2

15(93-s) + 10s =1270 substitute value of a in equation 2 (93-s) with value of a in             equation 1

1395-15s+10s=1270

-5s=-125

S=25

solve for a

a + s =93

a + 25=93

a=68

‘check answer

15a + 10s=1270

15(68) + 10(25)=1270

1020+ 250=1270
