Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3/4
(3,3)....x = 3 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = -3/4(3) + b
3 = -9/4 + b
3 + 9/4 = b
12/4 + 9/4 = b
21/4 = b.....or 5.25 for graphing purposes
so ur equation is : y = -3/4x + 21/4
ur y int = (0,21/4) or (0,5.25)
ur x int can be found by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x
y = -3/4x + 21/4
0 = -3/4x + 21/4
3/4x = 21/4
x = 21/4 * 4/3
x = 84/12 = 7.....so ur x int is (7,0)
so plot ur points (7,0) and (0,5.25)....now start at (0,5.25) and since the slope is -3/4, come down 3 spaces and go to the right 4 spaces, then down 3, and to the right 4 and u will eventually cross the x axis at (7,0)
Since 57x17=969 I did 969-942 and got 27 so there is 16 full rows and then 27 left over so that means it won’t be a full row but 27 extra seats will be filled. (If your wondering where the 17 came from that’s how many rows can be made that’s over 942 because if I did 57x16 it would equal 912 and I would not have had a full row of chairs)
Answer: 20.52
Step-by-step explanation:
For example a stands for the number of adult tickets, and s stands for the number of student tickets.
Write a system of equation based on the problem
An equation for "<span>A total of 679 tickets were sold for the school play"
</span>∴ a + s = 679 <em>(first equation)</em>
An equation for "<span>there were 71 fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets"
</span>∴ s = a - 71 <em>(second equation)</em>
<span>
Find the solution of the system
Subtitute s with a - 71 in the first equation to find the value of a
a + s = 679
a + a - 71 = 679
2a - 71 = 679
2a = 679 + 71
2a = 750
a = 750/2
a = 375
The number of adult tickets sold is 375</span>
In five hours the temperature would be -13 degrees F. Hope this helps.
