Knowing that x varies directly with y, we know the basic skeleton of the equation is
y = mx.
To find
m, plug in the known coordinate
(8,10), where the
x-coordinate is
8 and the
y-coordinate is
10.

Then, plug in m to the equation to get
y = (5/4)x.
Finally, plug in the y-coordinate
18 to the equation and solve for x!

Your exact answer is
x = 72/5. However, if your teacher prefers decimals, then
x = 14.4Hope this helps!

Let's define the following variables first.
A = number of tickets sold for adults
C = number of tickets sold for children
From the question, we can say that or form the following equations:
1. A + C = 790 tickets
2. $7A + $4C = $4, 390
The first equation can also be written as A = 790 - C. We can use this equation and replace "A" in the second equation.

From that, we can solve "C" by solving the equation formed above.

Therefore, 380 tickets for children were sold.
Since there are 790 tickets in total that are sold and 380 tickets for children were sold, we can say that 410 tickets for adult was sold.
Answer:
rate of motorboat: b
rate of current: c
So the rate the boat travels upstream is $b - c$, and the rate it travels downstream is $b + c$
Step-by-step explanation:
d = rt
200 = (b - c)\cdot 5
200 = (b + c)\cdot 4
b - c = 40
b + c = 50
Adding these equations, we get:
2b = 90
b = 45
So
c = 50 - 45 = 5
<u>Therefore the rate of the boat is 45kph, and the rate of the current is 5kph</u>
Hope this helps :)
