83-13 = 70
70/2 = 35
Thomas’s mileage is 35 miles
We have trapezoid with congruent legs.
30x + 11y = 2x + 3
28x +11y = 3
Also we have
30x + 11y = 12
We got 2 equations:
30x + 11y = 12
28x +11y = 3 (*-1) -----> -28x -11y = -3
30x + 11y = 12
<u> -28x -11y = -3</u>
2x = 9
x=9/2
30x + 11y = 12 ------> 30*9/2 +11y =12 ------> 135+11y =12, ---> 11y = - 123,
y= - 123/11
Answer:
Adult tickets sold: 156
Step-by-step explanation:
Adult ticket: x
Student ticket: y
x + y = 260 ===> -6(x + y = 260) ===> -6x -6y = -1560
6x + 4.5y = 1404 ===> 6x + 4.5y = 1404
________________
add the two equations to eliminate a variable: -1.5y = -156
divide by -1.5: y = 104
substitution to find x:
x + y = 260
x + 104 = 260
x = 156
