Well basically you are plugging in variables. Lets use a random but simple system of equations.
y = 2x - 3
6x + 8y = 20
Now you need to plug in the top equation, which equals y, into the bottom equation.
6x + 8(2x - 3) = 20
6x + 16x - 24 = 20
Combine like terms.
22x - 24 = 20
Add 24 to both sides.
22x = 44
Divide.
x = 2
Now plug in 2 in any of the original equations.
y = 2x - 3
y = 2(2) - 3
y = 4 - 3
y = 1
So your solution is (2,1). And thats how you use substitution.
I hope this helps love! :)

A venue plans to host trucking events regularly throughout the year. The expected revenue from each event is $100,000. The cost
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The venue has to host 47 events throughout the year

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit:

Profit is revenue subtracted by costs.

Per event:

$100,000 revenue

$50,000 costs

$100,000 - $50,000 = $50,000 profit.

If the venue wants to make a total profit margin of $2,350,000, how many events does the venue have to host throughout the year?

1 event - $50,000 profit.

x events - $2,350,000 profit.

50000x = 2350000

x = \frac{2350000}{50000}

x = 47

The venue has to host 47 events throughout the year
