Answer:
x= -1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
suppose ,
The number is x
now,
twice a number = 2 . x = 2x
The product of twice a number and six = 2x . 6 = 12x
[ "product" means the result of multiplication]
Then,
Eleven times the number = 11 . x = 11x
The difference of eleven times the number and 1/4 = 11x - 1/4
= (44x-1)/4
Hence,
12x = (44x-1)/4
=>48x = 44x-1 [multiplied by 4 on both sides]
=>48x-44x=-1 [subtract 44x on both sides]
=>4x=-1 [divide both sides by 4]
=>x= -1/4
Answer: -7
Step-by-step explanation: I took the test on USATP
The one with the highest numerator and denominator. 17/18
Let x represent lower level tickets that cost $77
Let y represent upper level tickets that cost $99
Cost equation: 77x + 99y = 247,071
Tickets equation: x + y = 2615
Using the elimination method, multiply the second equation by -77:
77x + 99y = 247,071
-77x - 77y = -201,355
--> 22y = 45,716
--> y = 2,078
Now plug "y" into either equation and solve for "x". I chose the Tickets equation. x + y = 2615 → x = 2615 - y → x = 2615 - 2078 → x = 537
Answer: lower level = 537 tickets, upper level = 2078 tickets.
