System of Equations
For the problem to solve we'll use the following variables:
x = number of the early bird tickets sold
y = number of the regular tickets sold
Haley sold a total of 20 tickets, thus:
x + y = 20 [1]
Early bird tickets cost $10 and regular tickets cost $15, thus the total money collected is:
10x + 15y = 225
Dividing by 5:
2x + 3y = 45 [2]
We have to solve the system of equations [1] and [2].
Multiply [1] by -2:
-2x - 2y = -40 [3]
Add [3] to [2]:
-2x - 2y +2x + 3y = -40 + 45
Simplifying:
y = 5
Substituting in [1]:
x + 5 = 20
Subtracting 5:
x = 20 - 5
x = 15
Solution: Hayley sold 15 early bird tickets and 5 regular-priced tickets
The order pair solution is (15,5)

Answer: x>5
Step-by-step explanation: The Absolute Value term is |4x+6|
For the Negative case, we'll use -(4x+6)
For the Positive case, we'll use (4x+6)
-(4x+6) = 14
Multiply
-4x-6 = 14
Rearrange and Add up
-4x = 20
Divide both sides by 4
-x = 5
Multiply both sides by (-1)
x = -5
Which is the solution for the Negative Case
(4x+6) = 14
Rearrange and Add up
4x = 8
Divide both sides by 4
x = 2
x=-5
x=2
5 1/4 divided by 16.9 is 0.31
Answer:
y= -1/4x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
first you need to find the slope.
to do this you can use the equation: change in y/change in x which is also y2 - y1/x2-x1
-8 - (-6)/12-4
-2/8
-1/4 = slope
since the line's equation is y = mx + b, we still need to find the y-intercept. we can do this by just plugging in one of the points
-6 = -1/4(4) + b
-6 = -1 + b
-5 = b
so the final equation is y= -1/4x - 5
