2 negatives can be converted to a plus sign. -(-x) can be +x or just x.
-54--23
-54+23
<u>23-54=-31</u>
78--4
<u>78+4=82</u>
-48/-6
Now let's pause fer a sec. When a negative is being divided by another negative, the quotient(answer to division problem) becomes a positive.
<u>-48/-6=8</u>
<u></u>
<u>50*-4=-200</u>

hope it helps
104 Because 100*4 = 400 and 4*4 = 16 so add together and get 416
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! :)
