Answer:
(a) B
(b) $2
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Let's say the cost of a ticket is t and the cost of popcorn is p. Then we can write the two equations from the table:
12t + 8p = 184
9t + 6p = 138
We need to solve this, so let's use elimination. Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4:
3 * (12t + 8p = 184)
4 * (9t + 6p = 138)
We get:
36t + 24p = 552
36t + 24p = 552
Subtract the second from the first:
36t + 24p = 552
- 36t + 24p = 552
________________
0 = 0
Since we get down to 0 = 0, which is always true, we know that we cannot determine the cost of each ticket because there is more than one solution (infinitely many, actually). The answer is B.
(b) Our equation from this, if we still use t and p, is:
5t + 4p = 82
Now, just choose any of the two equations from above. Let's just pick 9t + 6p = 138. Now, we have the system:
5t + 4p = 82
9t + 6p = 138
To solve, let's use elimination again. Multiply the first equation by 6 and the second one by 4:
6 * (5t + 4p = 82)
4 * (9t + 6p = 138)
We get:
30t + 24p = 492
36t + 24p = 552
Subtract the second from the first:
36t + 24p = 552
- 30t + 24p = 492
________________
6t + 0p = 60
So, t = 60/6 = $10. Plug this back into any of the equations to solve for p:
5t + 4p = 82
5 * 10 + 4p = 82
50 + 4p = 82
4p = 32
p = 32/4 = $8
So the ticket costs 10 - 8 = $2 more dollars than the popcorn.
Answer:
x= -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
4x + 10 = 2x + -14
Reorder the terms:
10 + 4x = 2x + -14
Reorder the terms:
10 + 4x = -14 + 2x
Solving
10 + 4x = -14 + 2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
10 + 4x + -2x = -14 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x
10 + 2x = -14 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
10 + 2x = -14 + 0
10 + 2x = -14
Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + 2x = -14 + -10
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 2x = -14 + -10
2x = -14 + -10
Combine like terms: -14 + -10 = -24
2x = -24
Divide each side by '2'.
x = -12
Simplifying
x = -12
First you need to get the unit rate by dividing 715 by 13, getting 55 miles per hour. You then will need to divide 495 by 55 to get the answer of 9
