Average movie ticket prices in the united states are, in general, lower than other countries. It would cost in $80.22 to buy three tickets in Japan plus two tickets in Switzerland. Three tickets in Switzerland plus two tickets in Japan would cost $75.53. How much does an average movie ticket cost in each of these countries?

80.22=3J+2S

75.53=2J+3S

solve.

i could not understand that

Do you understand the two equations from the text of the problem statement?

Do you understand how to solve two simultaneous equations?

i go to tutoring, but i would like the answer

You didn't answer bobpursley's questions.

I wont give you the answer, it wont do any good. show some work on solving the equations, and I can critique that. I am not an answer provider.

To find the average movie ticket prices in Japan and Switzerland, we need to solve a system of linear equations based on the given information.

Let's assume the cost of a movie ticket in Japan is denoted by "x" (in dollars) and the cost of a movie ticket in Switzerland is denoted by "y" (in dollars).

According to the first statement, "It would cost $80.22 to buy three tickets in Japan plus two tickets in Switzerland." We can write this as the equation:

3x + 2y = 80.22 ---(Equation 1)

According to the second statement, "Three tickets in Switzerland plus two tickets in Japan would cost $75.53." We can write this as the equation:

3y + 2x = 75.53 ---(Equation 2)

Now, we can solve this system of equations to find the values of x and y, which represent the average movie ticket prices in Japan and Switzerland, respectively.

To do that, we can use the method of substitution or elimination. Let's use the substitution method in this case.

From Equation 1, we can solve for x in terms of y:
x = (80.22 - 2y) / 3

Substituting this value of x in Equation 2, we get:
3y + 2((80.22 - 2y) / 3) = 75.53

Simplifying this equation, we can find the value of y.

To find the value of x, we can substitute the value of y into Equation 1 or Equation 2.

Once we have the values of x and y, we can determine the average movie ticket prices in Japan and Switzerland, respectively.
