Answer:

d. - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for direct variation is

y = kx

We know y =3 when x = -9

3 = k(-9)

Divide by -9

3/-9 = -9k/-9

-1/3 = k

The equation is then

y = -1/3 x

We know y = 5

5 = -1/3 x

Multiply each side by -3

-3*5 = -3*-1/3x

-15 = x

Keisha is selling tickets for the dance. Tickets purchased in advance cost four dollars well tickets at the door cost six dollar
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Let x represent tickets sold at the door

Let y represent tickets sold in advance

therefore,

5x + 3y = 460 ( this is the statement for total amount of money)

x + y = 100 ( this is the statement for number of tickets sold)

now use either equation to solve for y, it just happens that x + y = 100 is the easiest to do this with,

this gives use the answer,

y = 100 - x

now plug this into our money equation and you get,

5x + 3(100-x) = 460

now simplify,

5x + 300 - 3x = 460

2x = 160

x = 80

Therefore, 80 tickets were sold at the door.
