First let's get rid of the parenthesis:

12 - 4x + 3x = 4 + 10 + 2x

Now group the x's on the left and the numbers on the right

-4x + 3x - 2x = 4 + 10 - 12

...and simplify

-3x = 2

divide by -3 to isolate x

x = -2/3

A stadium has 55,000 seats. Seats sell for ​$28 in Section​ A, ​$16 in Section​ B, and ​$12 in Section C. The number of seats in
salantis [7]
A=number of seats in section A
B=number of seats in section B
C=number of seats in section C

We can suggest this system of equations:

A+B+C=55,000
A=B+C                                      ⇒A-B-C=0
28A+16B+12C=1,158,000

We solve this system of equations by Gauss Method.

1             1              1               55,000
1            -1            -1                         0
28         16           12          1,158,000 


1             1              1               55,000
0            -2             -2             -55,000                                    (R₂-R₁)
0           12             16           382,000                                    (28R₁-R₂) 


1            1                1              55,000
0           -2              -2             -55,000
0            0                4               52,000                                     (6R₂+R₃)

Therefore:

4C=52,000
C=52,000/4
C=13,000


-2B-2(13,000)=-55,000
-2B-26,000=-55,000
-2B=-55,000+26,000
-2B=-29,000
B=-29,000 / -2
B=14,500.

A + 14,500+13,000=55,000
A+27,500=55,000
A=55,000-27,500
A=27,500.

Answer: there are 27,500 seats in section A, 14,500 seats in section B and 13,000 seats in section C.

Ahmed, Walid and Faisal made $1446 profit from selling used books. If Ahmed to receive double amount of Faisal and Walid to rece
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Faisal receives $241

Ahmed receives $482

Walid receives $723

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to build a system of equations to solve this question.

We have that:

x is the amount that Faysal received.

y is the amount that Ahmed received.

z is the amount that Walid received.

Ahmed, Walid and Faisal made $1446 profit from selling used books.

This means that

x + y + z = 1446

Ahmed to receive double amount of Faisal

This means that y = 2x

Walid to receive triple amount of Faisal.

This means that z = 3x

So

x + 2x + 3x = 1446

6x = 1446

x = \frac{1446}{6}

x = 241

y = 2x = 2*241 = 482

z = 3x = 3*241 = 723

Faisal receives $241

Ahmed receives $482

Walid receives $723
