40=15x+30
x is the number of yards
Solve for x
Subtract 30 from both sides: 10=15x
Divide 15 into both sides: x= 10/15= 2/3
Answer: 2/3 yards
Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!

She charges $15 per lawn, so for mowing x lawns, she earns 15x.
She has a fixed expense of $30 in total, not per lawn.

15x - 30 = 40

15x = 70

x = 4 2/3

If she mows 4 2/3 lawns, she will make a profit of $40, but since she must mow full lawns, not a fraction if it, she must mow 5 lawns.

A movie theater charges $15 for standard viewing, $20 for 3D viewing, and $35 for Dinner and a
Ludmilka [50]

The quantity of each type of seats sold are as follows:

  • Standard viewing = 2000

  • 3D seats = 800

  • Movie and a dinner seat = 200

According to the question,there are four times as many 3D, x seats as Dinner and a Movie, y seats.

That is, x = 4y

Also, total seats

= (x) + (y) + (z) = 3000...….............eqn(1)

Also, If the theater brings in $53,000 when tickets to all 3000 seats are sold.

  • 20x + 35y + 15z = 53000...........eqn(2)

By substituting 4y for x in equations 1 and 2; we have;

<em>5y + z = 3000</em>..…........eqn(3) and

<em>115y + 15z = 53000</em>.........eqn(4)

By solving equations 3 and 4 simultaneously; we have;

y = 200 and z = 2000

and since x = 4y

x = 800

The quantity of each type of seats sold is as follows:

  • Standard viewing = 2000

  • 3D seats = 800

  • Movie and a dinner seat = 200
