Question

A baseball stadium holds 15,002 seats. The lower level has 50 fewer than three times as many seats as the upper

Answer 1

Answer:

Upper level = 2502 seats

Middle level = 5044 seats

Lower level = 7456 seats

Step-by-step explanation: given that

A baseball stadium holds 15,002 seats.

Let the Upper, middle and lower levels be represented as U, M and L respectively. And x = number of seat at the upper level

The lower level has 50 fewer than three times as many seats as the upper. That is

L = 3x - 50 .... (1)

The middle level has 40 more than twice as many seats as the upper level. That is

M = 2x + 40

Where L = x

x+ (2x + 40) + (3x - 50) = 15,002

You solved for x and found out the upper level has 2,502 seats . How many seats are in the lower level and how many seats are in the middle ?

That is x = 2502

Substitute x into equation 1

L = 3(2502) - 50

L = 7456 seats

Substitutes x into equation 2

M = 2(2502) + 40

M = 5044 seats

Answer 2

Answer:

Upper level - 2502 seats

Middle level - 5044 seats

Lower level - 7456 seats
