Sagot :
The number of students will be 642 and the number of the adults will be 59.
What is the solution of the equation?
The solution of the equation means the value of the unknown or variable.
Tickets for a soccer game cost $5 for students and $8 for adults.
The number of students was 7 less than 11 times the numbers of adults.
The amount of the money from tickets was 3682.
Let x be the number of students and y be the number of the adults.
Then the equation will be
x = 11y – 7 …1
5x + 8y = 3682 …2
From equation 1 and 2, we have
5(11y – 7) + 8y = 3682
55y + 8y – 35 = 3682
63y = 3717
y = 59
Then the value of x will be
x = 11 × 59 – 7
x = 642
