They bought 8 orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one orchestra seat = $42

Cost of one mezzanine seat = $25

No. of people = 14

Amount spent = $486

Let,

x be the number of orchestra seats

y be the number of mezzanine seats

According to given statement;

x+y=14     Eqn 1

42x+25y=486    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 25;

25(x+y=14)\\25x+25y=350\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2 to eliminate y;

(42x+25y)-(25x+25y)=486-350\\42x+25y-25x-25y=136\\17x=136

Dividing both sides by 17

\frac{17x}{17}=\frac{136}{17}\\x=8

Putting x=8 in Eqn 1

8+y=14\\y=14-8\\y=6

They bought 8 orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats.

A person's heart beats 200 times in 3 minutes. How many times will it beat in an hour (remember...60 minutes in an hour) ?​
andreev551 [17]

200 times / 3 minutes = x times / 60 minutes

3x = 12000

x = 4000 times in an hour

A person's heart will beat 4000 times in an hour.

Hope this helps!! :)
