Now that you've had a couple days graphing systems of linear equations, take another look at the two word problems from our blog problems Tuesday!
KMS is selling tickets to a spring musical. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 senior citizen tickets and 9 child tickets for a total of $75. The school took in $67 on the second day by selling 8 senior citizen tickets and 5 child tickets. What is the price of one senior citizen ticket and one child ticket?
For problem 2: please do /answer the following:
1) Identify variables
2) Write equations for the word problems
3) Solve the system of equations using graphing - remember, you may have to manipulate the linear equation! (You may use your calculator or the online calcualtor to assist you.)
4) Were your original answers correct?
5) Did you find using systems of equations to be useful/helpful? Explain.
