Let x = number of adult tickets, and y = number of children tickets. One equation must deal with the number of tickets, and the other equation must deal with the revenue from the tickets.
Then x + y = 300 is the number of tickets
12x + 8y = 3280 is the revenue from the tickets.
Using the substitution method:
x + y = 300 ⇒ y = 300 - x ⇒ Equation (3)
12x + 8y = 3280 ⇒ 12x + 8(300-x) = 3280 ⇒ x = 220
y = 300 - x ⇒ y = 300-220 ⇒ 80
Therefore 220 adult tickets and 80 children's tickets were sold.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line is written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
You are given the slope: 5
The y-intercept is the y value when x is 0, this is also the point given to you (0,4), so the y-intercept (b) is 4.
The equation is y = 5x +4
Answer:
y=6/5 or 1 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms
5y+1= 10y-5
subtract 5y from both sides
1=5y-5
add 5 to both sides
6=5y
divide by 5 on both sides
6/5=y
