The answer would be B. -4
Answer:
<u>Alejandro went to 8 matinee shows and 4 evening shows.</u>
<u>Our system of equations:</u>
<u>x + y = 12</u>
<u>7x + 12y = 104</u>
Correct statement and question:
Alejandro loves to go to the movies. He goes both at night and during the day. The cost of a matinee is 7 dollars. The cost of an evening show is 12 dollars.
Alejandro went to see a total of 12 movies and spent $ 104. How many of each type of movie did he attend? Write a system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Let x to represent the number of matinee shows Alejandro went to.
Let y to represent the number of evening shows Alejandro went to.
Now, let's write our system of equations:
x + y = 12
7x + 12y = 104
*********************
x = 12 - y
*********************
7 (12 - y) + 12y = 104
84 - 7y + 12y = 104
5y = 104 - 84
5y = 20
y = 20/5
<u>y = 4 ⇒ x = 12 - 4 = 8</u>
<u>Alejandro went to 8 matinee shows and 4 evening shows.</u>
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides of the equation by 8/5.
4x-16=32
Move 16 to the other side
4x=32+16
add numbers on the right side
4x=48
divide both sides by 4
x=12
