137x!
When combining like terms, variables do not matter unless they are different!
The exact circumference is 60ft
Answer:
132 children and 88 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
let x represent the amount of kids and y represent the amount of adults.
since the problem says there was a total of 220 people at the fair an equation can be made
x+y=220
the problem tells that each childrens ticket was 1.5$ and each adult ticket was $4 and that a total of $550 was made that day, we can use the knowledge to make an equation:
1.5x + 4y = 550
using the equations we can make this systems of equations:
1.5x + 4y =550
x + y =220
solve the systems of equations by subracting y on both sides of th bottom equation:
x=220-y
since x is equivant to 220-y it can be substitued for x in the first equation to make this:
1.5(220-y)+4y =550
--solve for y--
y=88 - there were 88 adults
substute 88 for y in the second equation
x+88=220
--solve for x--
x=138 - there were 132 children
Answer:
y = -18

- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define systems</u>
y = 5x - 3
3x - 2y = 27
<u>Step 2: Rewrite systems</u>
- Define: 3x - 2y = 27
- Add 2y on both sides: 3x = 2y + 27
- Divide 3 on both sides: x = 2/3y + 9
<u>Step 3: Redefine</u>
y = 5x - 3
x = 2/3y + 9
<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: y = 5(2/3y + 9) - 3
- Distribute 5: y = 10/3y + 45 - 3
- Combine like terms: y = 10/3y + 42
- Subtract 10/3y on both sides: -7/3y = 42
- Divide -7/3 on both sides: y = -18
