A grocer has two kinds of tea, one selling for 80 cents per pound and the other selling for 60 cents per pound. How many pounds
of each kind must he use to make 50 pounds of tea that will sell for 74 cents per pound?
1 answer:
X*80+y*60= 50*74
x +y =50 | * ( -60)
80x + 60y= 50*74
-60x - 60y=-50*60
---------------------------
20x= 50*(74-60)=50*14
x=50*14/20=35 pounds of 80 cents tea
y=50-35=15 pounds of 60 cents tea

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
25b * (3a² - 1) = 25b * 3a² - 25b * 1
= 75ba² - 25b
Distributive law upon subtraction:
a(x - y) = ax - ay
Let x = number of adult tickets sold
Let x-53 = number of student tickets sold
x + x -53 = 697
2x - 53 = 697.
Add 53 to both sides to get:
2x = 750
Divide both sides by 2 to get:
x = 375
375 adult tickets were sold.
