6/x= -2/18
Cross multiply. ( Multiply the numerators together ) . ( Multiply the denominators together (.
6*18= - 2*x
108= -2x
Divide by -2 for 108 and -2x
108/-2= -2x/2
x= -54
Answer: x= -54
Answer:
Quarter 2
Explanation:
Quarter 1 had a 4.19505% increase in earnings, but quarter 2 had a 11.586% increase.
The number of matinee movies attended is 4.
The number of a evening show movies attended is 2.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- Let x represent the number of matinee movies attended.
- Let y represent the number of evening show movies attended.
- Alejandro went to see a total of 6 movies.
Therefore, from the given data the equation can be framed as :
⇒ x + y = 6 ----------(1)
- The cost of a matinee is $7.
- The cost of an evening show is $12.
- Alejandro spent a total of $52.
Therefore, from the given data the equation can be framed as :
⇒ 7x + `12y = 52 ---------(2)
<u>To solve the equations for x and y values :</u>
Mulitply eq (1) and by 7 and subtract eq (2) from eq (1),
7x + 7y = 42
- <u>(7x + 12y = 52)</u>
<u> - 5y = - 10 </u>
⇒ y = 10/5
⇒ y = 2
The number of a evening show movies attended is 2.
Substitute y=2 in eq (1),
⇒ x+2 = 6
⇒ x = 6-2
⇒ x = 4
The number of matinee movies attended is 4.
