To solve this, we must set up a Systems of Equations problem 
Let's say C stands for Coach seats bought and S stands for sleeper cars bought
Here are our equations we have enough information to make. 
c + s = 93 
115c + 290s = $20,320 
Lets solve for Coach seats first 
To do that we need a value for s 
In the first equation, s = 93 - c
Lets plug that in for S in the second equation 
115c + 290(93 - c) = $20,320 
Distribute and simplify 
115c + 26,970 - 290c = $20,320 
Combine like terms 
-175c + 26,970 = $20,320 
-175c = -6650
divide 
c = \frac{-6650}{-175}
c = 38
We just found out 38 coach seats were bought. 
Plug in 38 for C in this equation ⇒ 115c + 290s = $20,320 to find S
115(38) + 290s = $20,320 
Distribute and Simplify 
4,370 + 290s = $20,320 
290s = $15,950 
Divide 
S = \frac{15950}{290}
S = 55
We just completed the problem!
38 Coach seats were bought and 
55 Sleeper car seats were bought.

Perpendicular to y = 2x – 6<br> and passing through (4,3)
ladessa [460]

Answer:

y = - 1/2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x – 6        slope = 2

Perpendicular line slope = -1/2

for (4 , 3)      y = mx + b       y = 3, x = 4,   m = -1/2

b = y - mx = 3 - (-1/2) x 4 = 5

equation: y = - 1/2x + 5

What are all of these?
serious [3.7K]
They are abstract "word" problems, offered for the purpose of giving the
student of high school mathematics valuable practice in the application
and manipulation of the concept of "percent". 

Often, some time spent in solving practice-examples such as these can
lead to the phenomenon known as "learning", whereby the student comes
to know, understand, and possess competence in a topic where he or she
was previously ignorant and incompetent. 

It is important to realize that the practice is the vital component in the process,
whereas the answers alone have no value at all.
