Answer:

[tex]x = 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x per adult

$8 per student

Population:

[tex]Students = 1[/tex]

[tex]Adults = 4[/tex]

[tex]Total = \$48[/tex]

Required

Determine the equation and solve for x

The system can be analyzed as thus:

The cost for 4 adults is: 4 * x

The cost for 1 students is: 8 * 1

Total Amount is: 48

From the analysis above, the equation is:

[tex]4 * x + 8 * 1 = 48[/tex]

[tex]4 x + 8 = 48[/tex]

Subtract 8 from both sides

[tex]4 x + 8 -8= 48 - 8[/tex]

[tex]4 x= 40[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = 40/4[/tex]

[tex]x = 10[/tex]
