Solve the system of equations. -12x-5y=40 and 12x-11y=88 x= y=
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

(0,-8)

x=0

y=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways you can solve this I used what I think is called the elimination method

We first start by writing the equations in linear form (y=mx+b)

For the first one we have -12x-5y=40

we add 5y to both sides and subtract 40 to get

-12x-40=5y

divide by 5 to get

-12/5x-8=y

Then the second one we have

12x-11y=88

same deal here, add 11y and subtract 88 to get

12x-88=11y

divide by 11 and get

12/11x-8=y

We then set the two equations equal to each other and get

-12/5x-8=12/11x-8

We can add 8 to both sides and get

-12/5x=12/11x

Just by looking at it you can see that the only solution for x is 0

Plug in 0 to the first equation and get -12*0-5y=40

This means that -5y=40

Solve for y and get -8

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

A total of 53 sales to qualify for bonus

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first week, they required a sale of 20 tickets to recieve a bonus.

In subsequent weeks, they require a sale of (n + 3)

Where n = number of sale the previous week

Week 2, they'll require n + 3 = (20 + 3) sales = 23 sales

Week 3 = 23 + 3 = 26 sales

Week 4 = 26 + 3 = 29 sales

Week 5 = 29 + 3 = 32 sales

Week 6 = 32 + 3 = 35 sales

Week 7 = 35 + 3 = 38 sales

Week 8 = 38 + 3 = 41 sales

Week 9 = 41 + 3 = 44 sales

Week 10 = 44 + 3 = 47 sales

Week 11 = 47 + 3 = 50 sales

Week 12 = 50 + 3 = 53 sales

At the end of week 12, they require a total of 53 sale to qualify for bonus
