Answer:
Okay so im seeing you need help okay I will tell you how to do number 21 as an example
Step-by-step explanation:
Look for a commen donominater of the 3/8 and 1/3 the denominater would be 24 so 8 times 3 and 3 times 3 so those would be 9/24 and 3/24 , do the 8 plus the ten and you get 18 so 18+ 9/24+3/24= 18 12/24, or 18 1/2
Answer:
<u>Alejandro went to 8 matinee shows and 4 evening shows.</u>
<u>Our system of equations:</u>
<u>x + y = 12</u>
<u>7x + 12y = 104</u>
Correct statement and question:
Alejandro loves to go to the movies. He goes both at night and during the day. The cost of a matinee is 7 dollars. The cost of an evening show is 12 dollars.
Alejandro went to see a total of 12 movies and spent $ 104. How many of each type of movie did he attend? Write a system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Let x to represent the number of matinee shows Alejandro went to.
Let y to represent the number of evening shows Alejandro went to.
Now, let's write our system of equations:
x + y = 12
7x + 12y = 104
*********************
x = 12 - y
*********************
7 (12 - y) + 12y = 104
84 - 7y + 12y = 104
5y = 104 - 84
5y = 20
y = 20/5
<u>y = 4 ⇒ x = 12 - 4 = 8</u>
<u>Alejandro went to 8 matinee shows and 4 evening shows.</u>
a = 4, b = -21, c = -18
to keep from getting "mixed up", evaluate the discriminant first ...
b<sup>2</sup> - 4ac = (-21)<sup>2</sup> - 4(4)(-18) = 729
sqrt(729) = 27
x = (21 +/- 27)/8
x = -3/4, x = 6
since the discriminant is a perfect square, the original quadratic will factor ...
4x<sup>2</sup> - 21x - 18 = 0
(4x + 3)(x - 6) = 0
x = -3/4, x = 6
