Answer:

y=x+14

x+y=58

You sold 22 tickets and your friend sold 36 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let´s name the variables as the following:

x = quantity of tickets sold by you

y = quantity of tiquets sold by your friend

2. As you sold 14 more than your friend, the first equation is:

y=x+14 (Eq.1)

3. As together sold 58 tickets, the second equation is:

x+y=58 (Eq.2)

4. Replacing the Eq. 1 in Eq. 2:

x+x+14=58

2x+14=58

2x=58-14

2x=44

x=\frac{44}{2}

x=22

Then you sold 22 tickets

5. Replacing the value of x result in Eq.1:

y=x+14

y=22+14

y=36

Therefore your friend sold 36 tickets.

X - 14 = y
x + y = 58

x is the amount you sold 
y is the amount your friend sold

What is the value of X?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles of a triangle is 180

<V + <P + <M = 180

47+85+x = 180

132 +x = 180

Subtract 132 from each side

132-132+x = 180-132

x =48

Find the equation of the line that passes through the following two points: (3, -7) and (7, 2)
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

y=\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{55}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Slope formula: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Given points: (3, -7), (7, 2)

(3, -7) = (x1, y1)

(7, 2) = (x2, y2)

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to find the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) of the equation.

First, let's find the slope. To do this, input the given points into the slope formula:

\frac{2-(-7)}{7-3}

Simplify:

2 - (-7) = 2 + 7 = 9

7 - 3 = 4

\frac{9}{4}

The slope is \frac{9}{4}.

To find the y-intercept, input the slope and one of the given points(in this example I'll use point (7, 2)) into the equation and solve for b:

2=\frac{9}{4}(7)+b

2=\frac{63}{4}+b

-\frac{55}{4} =b

The y-intercept is -\frac{55}{4}.

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

y=\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{55}{4}

14 bugs are crawling on the steps. Some of the bugs are black, and 4 are
docker41 [41]

Answer:

b  = 14-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of black bugs be b

Let the number of green bugs be g

If 14 bugs are crawling on the step, then;

b + g = 14 ....1

If there are 4 green bugs, then g = 4

Substitute g = 4 into the equation

b + g = 14

b + 4 = 14

b = 14 - 4

Hence the sentence that can be required to find the number of black bugs is b  = 14-4
