Ms. Banyas bought adult tickets and children’s tickets to a lacrosse game. She spent a total of $145. The equation that follows describes the relationship between and :
25x + 15y = 145
The ordered pair (4,3) is a solution to the equation. What does the solution (4,3) represent?
25(4)+ 15(3) = 145
100 + 45 = 145
145 = 145
Yes
yes
wait that doesnt answer the question
In the given equation, x represents the number of adult tickets purchased and y represents the number of children's tickets purchased.
The equation 25x + 15y = 145 represents the relationship between the total cost of the tickets and the number of adult and children's tickets.
Now, let's consider the provided solution (4,3). Here, x = 4 and y = 3.
Substituting these values into the equation:
25(4) + 15(3) = 145
100 + 45 = 145
We can see that the equation holds true with these values.
Therefore, the solution (4,3) represents the situation where Ms. Banyas purchased 4 adult tickets and 3 children's tickets for the lacrosse game, resulting in a total cost of $145.
