Answer:
(a) no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Writing the second equation in slope-intercept form, it becomes ...
3x -y = 2 . . . . given
y = 3x -2 . . . . add y-2 to both sides
The first equation is already in slope-intercept form:
y = 3x +3 . . . . first equation
The coefficients of x in the two equations are both 3, so the lines they describe are parallel. They do not intersect, so there is <em>no solution</em>.
Answer:
y=2.625
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright, so [-2.99] is -2.99, and [2.99] is 2.99, so -2.99+2.99=0
Answer:
The cost of tickets for a play is $3.00 for adults and $2.00 for children. 350 tickets were sold and $950 was collected. How many tickets of each type were sold?
Let x = number of $3 tickets
Let y = number of $2 tickets
Total = quantity × value
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 350 (equation 1)
3x + 2y = 950 (equation 2)
Use Substitution Method
Isolate variable x in equation 1
x = 350 – y (equation 3)
Substitute equation 3 into equation 2
3(350 – y) + 2y = 950
1050 – 3y + 2y = 950
3y – 2y = 1050 – 950
y = 100
Substitute y = 100 into equation 1
x + 100 = 350
x = 250
Answer: 250 $3 tickets and 100 $2 tickets were sold.
