Answer:
The results don't make sense
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:
"x" is the number of children's tickets
"y" is the number of adult tickets
Thus:
8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259
x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y
replacing we have:
8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259
280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259
- 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280
0.75 * y = -21
y = -21 / 0.75
y = -28
Thus:
x = 35 - (-28) = 63
With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.
Answer: $8470
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, you can substitute 4 for x:
Mikayla's scooter is worth around $8470 after 4 years.
It was originally worth 13,500 dollars and depreciated by 11% every year.
Answer:
<h2>
2x + 3y = 33 </h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
As we move from (-2, 5) to (1, 3), x increases by 3 and y decreases by 2.
Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -2/3.
Start with the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.
Substitute 3 for y and 1 for x and -2/3 for m:
3 = (-2/3)(1) + b.
Remove fractions by mult. all three terms by 3:
9 = -2 + b, so b = 11, and y = (-2/3)x + 11
Again, mult. all three terms by 3:
3y = -2x + 33, or, in standard form,
<h2>
2x + 3y = 33 </h2>
