With only one equation and no answer choices, there are an infinite number of possible values for x and y to make the equation true.
Answer:
Exact Form: q = -3/2
Decimal Form: q = -1.5
Mixed Form: q = -1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this helps!
2x - 3y = -24
x+ 6y = 18
you solve the first one by the x:
2x = -24 + 3y
x = (-24+3y)/2
then you substitute what you found in the other equation and you solve by y
(-24+3y)/2 + 6y = 18 multiply everything by 2
-24 + 3y + 12y = 36
3y + 12y = 36 + 24
15y = 60
y = 60/15
y = 4
Good job! You found your y! :D
Now let's substitute the y in the first equation with 4:
2x - 3(4) = -24
2x - 12 = -24
2x = -24 + 12
2x = -12
x = -12/2
x= -6
Done!! ;) <span />
By working with percentages, we will see that there are 1,080 seats in the theater.
<h3>
How many total seats were in the theater?</h3>
We know that the students filled 702 seats, leaving 35% vacant.
Then 702 seats represents the (100% - 35% = 65%) of the total number of seats.
So, if the total number of seats is S, we can write:
(65%/100%)*S as the 65% of S.
Then we solve:
(65%/100%)*S = 702
0.65*S = 702
S = 702/0.65 = 1,080
There are 1,080 seats in the theater.
