PLEASE HELP, 10 points :-3 MATH 8th grade QUESTION IS The Marcos family consists of 2 adults and 4 children. They spent a total of $40 on circus tickets. Let x represent the cost of an adult ticket, and let y represent the cost of a child’s ticket. Which graph represents the possible costs of the tickets?
Answer (3)
(2y + 4x) - 4x = (40) - 4x 2y = -4x + 40 (2y) / 2 = (-4x + 40) / 2 y = -2x + 20 20 is the y intercept (-2 / 1) is the slope
B
(Or whichever the one that has a y-intercept of 20 and an x-intercept of 10.)
the answer is B or the 2nd option
The total cost equation for the Marcos family's tickets is 2 x + 4 y = 40 , which simplifies to x + 2 y = 20 . This represents a line on a graph, indicating possible combinations of adult and child ticket costs. The graph should show the vertical intercept (where y is maximized) at y = 10 and the horizontal intercept (where x is maximized) at x = 20 .
