Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

system of equations… so, in the first one, let x =amount of ticket A, let y = amount of ticket B.

So, x + y = 300 tickets

In equation two, we know $12 per ticket A, and $15 per ticket B, but we don’t know the amount of tickets.

So, $12x + $15y = $4,140.

So we can solve this using elimination, substitution, graphing it etc. etc.

I will use substitution, as I prefer that when I have one equation that is x +/- y =

so i prefer multiplying by 15, so I am going to solve for y.

x + y = 300

-x ……. -x

y = -x +300

No substitute the y value into the second equation…

$12x +$15(-x + 300) =$4,140.

so we distribute the 15

12x -15x + 4500 = 4140

combine like terms:

-3x +4500 = 4140

subtract 4500 from both sides

-3x = -360

divide both sides by -3

x = 120. So we know that there were 120 of tickets A bought

so we go back to our system and solve

x + y = 300, but use our newly acquired x value.

120 + y = 300

y = 180

So, 120 of ticket A, 180 of ticket B, and we could plug it in and get the same answer….. just for fun

12x + 15y = 4140

12 (120) + 15 (180)

1440 + 2700 = 4140.

The quantity y varies directly as x and inversely as z. When x is 10 and z is 4, y is 15. What is y when x is 20 and z is 6?
frosja888 [35]
Y=(kx)/z


15=(k10)/4
15=(5k/2)
15=k(5/2)
ties both sides by 2/5 to clear fraction
6=k

y=(6x)/z

x=20
z=6
y=(6*20)/6
y=20
