Answer :
There are [tex]700[/tex] children and [tex]1300[/tex] adults.
What is system of linear equations?
A System of Linear Equations is when we have two or more linear equations working together.
Let [tex]x[/tex] be number of children and [tex]y[/tex] be number of adults.
Since [tex]2000[/tex] people enter the zoo then [tex]x+y=2000.[/tex]
The admission fee at a local zoo is $ [tex]1.50[/tex] for children and $ [tex]5.00[/tex] for adults and $[tex]7550.00[/tex] collected then [tex]1.5x+5y=7550[/tex].
Thus there are two linear equations to solve.
Substitute [tex]x=2000-y[/tex] in [tex]1.5x+5y=7550.[/tex]
[tex]1.5(2000-y)+5y=7550[/tex]
[tex]3000-1.5y+5y=7550[/tex]
[tex]3000+3.5y=7550[/tex]
[tex]3.5y=7550-3000[/tex]
[tex]3.5y=4550[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{4550}{3.5}[/tex]
[tex]y=1300[/tex]
So [tex]x=2000-y=2000-1300=700.[/tex]
Therefore there are [tex]700[/tex] children and [tex]1300[/tex] adults.
