y=9x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
they are in y=mx+b form
There are no two numbers that will add up to 3 and when multiplied become 4.
However there are 2 numbers if you multiply them it is -4. And when you add them it is 3. Those two numbers would be 1 and -4
Answer: the number of adult tickets sold is 400
the number of student tickets sold is 200
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of adult tickets sold at the play.
Let y represent the number of student tickets sold at the play.
Adult tickets to a play cost $1.75 each and student tickets cost $1.25 each. If the income from the play was $1,700, it means that
1.75x + 1.25y = 1700 - - - - - - - - - -1
Suppose there are twice as many student tickets sold as adult tickets. This means that
y = 2x
Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes
1.75x + 1.25 × 2x = 1700= 1700
1.75y + 2.5y = 1700
4.25y = 1700
y = 1700/4.25 = 400
x = y/2 = 400/2 = 200
