To find the answer, set up a system of equations.
Let x=adult tickets and y=senior citizen tickets.
x+y=556
22x+12y=8492
Change the first equation to make it easy to combine with the second equation.
y=556-x
Now substitute (556-x) for y in the second equation.
22x+12(556-x)=8492
Simplify and combine like terms.
22x+6672-12x=8492
10x=1820
x=182
182 adult tickets were sold, so to solve for the number of senior citizen tickets sold, subtract 182 from 556.
556-182=374
374 senior citizen tickets were sold.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
No Taxi - 95
No Bus total - 275
Yes Taxi total - 120
Total Total - 400
9/100 = x/90
Cross multiply to get 810 = 100x
Divide both sides by 100 to get x = 81 inches
The first thing you should do is solve the equation yourself.
1) Distribute the 2.
6x + 4 = 2x – 16
2) Next, you'll want to get the x's on one side. So add -2x to both sides.
6x + 4 + -2x = 2x + -2x - 16
4x + 4 = -16
3) Now subtract 4 from both sides
4x + 4 – 4 = -16 – 4
4x = -12
4) Finally, divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -12/4
x = –3
To solve this problem all you need to do is look back out you work, and figure out the correct solution. The answer the question is The student made an error in Step 1.
