Quadratic equations are the polynomial equations of degree 2 in one variable of type f(x) = ax2 + b x + c = 0 where a, b, c, ∈ R and a ≠ 0. It is the general form of a quadratic equation where ‘a’ is called the leading coefficient and ‘c’ is called the absolute term of f (x). The values of x satisfying the quadratic equation are the roots of the quadratic equation (α, β).

The quadratic equation will always have two roots. The nature of roots may be either real or imaginary.

First day

3x+9y=75/3

x+3y=25 -1

Second Day

8x+5y=67 -2

multiply equation 1 by -8

-8x-24y=-200

add it to equation 2

-24y+5y=-200+67

-19y=-133/-19

y= $7 cost of child ticket

plug value of y in equation1

x+21=25

x=$4 cost of senior citizen ticket
