Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
500(x - 3) =5000
x - 3 = 5000/500
x - 3 = 10
x = 10 + 3
x = 13
Answer:
Equation to solve this: 50.5-20.7=a number
Answer: 29.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X= the number of tickets sold at $35 each
Let 350 -X = the number of tickets sold at $25 each
The number of tickets sold for each type will be computed as follows:
X(35)+(350-X)25=10250
35X+8750-25X=10250
10X=10250-8750
X=1500/10
X=150 the number of tickets sold at $35 each
350-150 the number of tickets sold at $25 each
To recheck:
150(35)+200(25)
5250+5000
10250

Expanding the left side gives

which gives two solutions,

and

. But if

, then

, but this number isn't real, so

is an extraneous solution. Meanwhile if

, you get

, so this solution is correct.
"Potential solutions" might refer to both possibilities, but there is only one actual (real) solution.
Y = t + 9. hope this helps
