Answer: yes , it is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y .Then , the sum of the two numbers will be x + y , and their difference will be x - y.

Combining the two , we have :

x + y = 1 ............................... equation 1

x - y = 8 ................................. equation 2

solving the system of linear equation by substitution method. From equation 1 , make x the subject of the formula ,

x = 1 - y ...................... equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2 ,

1 - y - y = 8

1 - 2y = 8

add 2y to both sides

1 = 8 + 2y

subtract 8 from both sides

1 - 8 = 2y

- 7 = 2y

divide through by 2

y = \frac{-7}{2}

y = - 3.5

substitute y = -3.5 into equation 3 to find the value of x , we have

x = 1 - y

x = 1 - ( - 3.5 )

x = 1 + 3.5

x = 4.5

Let us check :

x + y will be

4.5 + (-3.5) = 1

Also ,

x - y will be

4.5 - (-3.5)

⇒ 4.5 + 3.5 = 8

Answer:

10 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Parking needs to be paid for but if all friends are going together, they need to only pay once for parking.

The amount spent on just tickets is therefore:

= 243.25 - 15.75

= $227.50.

If $227.50 was for tickets alone, the number of tickets they could buy is:

= Total amount left/ Price of tickets

= 227.50 / 22.75

= 10 people
