STEP 1:
determine equations needed

x= # of $10 tickets
y= # of $14 tickets

QUANTITY EQUATION
x + y= 800

COST EQUATION
$10x + $14y= $9,040


STEP 2:
multiply quantity equation by -14

-14(x + y)= -14(800)
-14x - 14y= -11,200


STEP 3:
add new quantity equation in step 2 to cost equation of step 1 to solve for x using elimination

-14x - 14y= -11,200
10x + 14y= 9040
y term cancels out

-4x= -2160
divide both sides by -4

x= 540 ten dollar tickets


STEP 4:
substitute x value in step 3 into either original equation

x + y= 800
540 + y= 800
subtract 540 from both sides

y= 260 fourteen dollar tickets


ANSWER: There were 540 $10 tickets and 260 $14 tickets sold.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

(3, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(3) means substitute the value of x = 3 into f(x)

\implies f(3) = (3 \times 3) + 1 = 10

Therefore, when x = 3, y = 10

So the ordered pair is (3, 10)

The sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 1020, find the numbers.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

339, 340, 341

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 3 consecutive numbers, divide the sum by 3 to get the average. 1020/3=340. So the middle number is 340. That means the numbers are 339, 340, and 341.

Please help me on 17-18!<br> I have no clue on what to do on the problems at hand.
nika2105 [10]

If you would have to graph x=7, you probably know that this is a vertical line at, well, x=7.

| x | = 7 is nothing more than two vertical lines, namely x=7 or x=-7, as you already wrote down.

| x | = -8 has no (real) solutions, so there is nothing to graph.
