At a carnival, food tickets cost $2 each and ride tickets cost $3 each. A total of $1,240 was collected at the carnival. The num

ber of food tickets sold was 10 less than twice the number of ride tickets sold.
The system of equations represents x, the number of food tickets sold, and y, the number of ride tickets sold.

2x + 3y = 1240

x = 2y – 10

How many of each type of ticket were sold?

If you have to unknown variables, you have to eliminate one, e.g. Like this:
2×(2y-10)+3y=1240. Now there is only one unknown variable
4y-20+3y=1240
7y-20=1240
7y=1260
y=1260/7=180

Now you can calculate x
x=2y-10=2×180-10=360-10=350. ( You can also use the other equation but This one is easier)

Can anyone help me? My teacher just recently taught me this today, be he never explained much. The question is in the photo
IceJOKER [234]

You've got five different problems in this photo ... four on top and the word problem on the bottom ... and they're all exactly the same thing:  Taking two points and finding the slope of the line that goes through them.

In every case, the procedure is the same.
If the two points are  (x₁ , y₁)  and  (x₂ , y₂) , then
the slope of the line that goes through them is

                          Slope  =  (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) .

This is important, and you should memorize it.

#1).  (8, 10)  and  (-7, 14)

         Slope  =  (14 - 10) / (-7 - 8)  =  4 / -15

#2).  (-3, 1)  and  (-17, 2)

         Slope  =  (2 - 1) / (-17 -  -3)  =  (2 - 1) / (-17 + 3)  =  1 / -14

#3).  (-20, -4)  and  (-12, -10)

         Slope  =  [ -10 - (-4) ] / [ -12 - (-20) ]

=========================================

The word problem:

This question only gives you one point on the graph,
and then it wants to know what's the slope ?
What are you going to do for another point ?

A "proportional relationship" always passes through the origin,
so another point on the line is  (0, 0) .

Now you have two points on THAT line too, and you can easily
find its slope.

Solve for x help don't know how to do this
Charra [1.4K]
Both triangle are isosceles, which means their base angles are congruent.

54 + 2y = 180
2y = 126
y = 63 

The measure of the base angles of the triangle on the left is 63 degrees.

180 - 63 = 117

117 + 2x = 180
2x = 63
x = 31.5

Answer:
x = 31.5

Hope this helps.
