Answer:

7x + 3y = - 1

x + y = - 3

Find what y (Or x, but make sure you find the same variable for both equations) is:

3y = - 7x - 1

y = - 7/3x - 1/3

y = - x - 3

Substitute:

- 7/3x - 1/3 = - x - 3

Solve for x (Or y, depending on which one you used):

4/3x = 2 2/3

x = 2

Plug x (Or y) into one of the equations:

2 + y = - 3

y = - 5

Answer: x = 2, y = -5

Tickets for a concert are $40 for main-floor seats and $25 for upper level seats. A total of 2000 concert tickets were sold. The
Tems11 [23]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>to show how many tickets were sold:</u>

x = upper floor tickets

y = main floor tickets

x + y = 2000

<u>to show total amount of revenue:</u>

25x + 40y = 62,000

<u>Finding answer using both equations:</u>

x + y = 2000

multiply each side by 25

25x + 25y = 2000 × 25

25x + 25y = 50,000

25x + 40y = 62,000

-

25x + 25y = 50,000

-----------------------------------

15y = 12,000

^ this is column subtraction

<em>^ this column subtraction is done to isolate y so we can work with one value rather than 2</em>

15y = 12,000

divide each side by 15

12,000 ÷ 15 = 800

y = 800

x + y = 2000

x + 800 = 2000

x = 1200

Therefore 1200 upper-level tickets were sold

800 main floor tickets were sold
