1 answer:

3 0

$3x-2y=9 \\
y=2x-7 \\ \\
\hbox{substitute 2x-7 for y in the 1st equation:} \\
3x-2(2x-7)=9 \\
3x-4x+14=9 \\
-x+14=9 \ \ \ |-14 \\
-x=-5 \ \ \ |\times (-1) \\
x=5 \\ \\
y=2x-7=2 \times 5-7=10-7=3 \\ \\
\boxed{(x,y)=(5,3)}$

A total of 722 tickets were sold for the school play. they were either adult tickets or student tickets. there were 72 more stud

ololo11 [35]

S + a = 722
s = 72 + a

(72 + a) + a = 722
2a + 72 = 722
2a = 722 - 72
2a = 650
a = 650/2
a = 325 <== adults

s = 72 + a
s = 72 + 325
s = 397 <== students
