Answer:
Step-by-step explanation
- Let x be the number of adults and y the number of kids
We can then write this two equations :
x+y= 33
15x+7y= 311
- let's solve the two eaquations
to do that we should combine them both in a way that help us get rid of one of the variables.
Let's multiply the first equation by -7 to get rid of y by adding it to thr second equation
-7x-7y= -231
now add both equations .
15x+7y-7x-7y=311-231
we get : 8x = 80
as you notice y is gone and we get a classic easy equation to solve
x= 80/8
= 10
so the number of adults is 10
let's go back to the first equation ( x+y= 33) and replace x with 10
10+y= 33
y= 33-10
=23
let's check using the second equation :
(10*15)+(23*7) = 311
that is true
so :
- the number of adults is 10
- the number of kids is 23
The equation is y=1x-2

Is this the answer u needed?
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to figure out the slope:
y2-y1/x2-x1=(1+5)/(-5-7)=-1/2
y+5=-1/2(x-7)
y=-1/2x-3/2
