The answer to your question is 6.54
For this question, it would be most effective to use an algebraic expression to more easily show what the question is asking. If we use the variable "k" to show the distance in km that he cycled on Sunday, we know that the amount he cycled on Saturday equals k + 12, and the amount that he cycled on the weekend should be the amount of Saturday plus the amount of Sunday. If we write this as an equation we say:
k + k + 12 = 38
=> 2k + 12 = 38
Now we can just rearrange and solve for k:
=> 2k = 26
=> k = 26/2 = 13
Therefore Patrick cycled 13km on Sunday
To solve the answer, we just add 12km to the value for Sunday like so:
12 + 13 = the amount he cycled on Sunday
Hope this helped, remember to please try and understand the maths as well as the answer :))
Answer: The number of $12 tickets and $15 sold are 120 and 180 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is:
12x + 15y = 4140 .....(1)
Where,
x stands for $12 tickets and y stands for $15 tickets
According to the question:
x + y = 300 ....(2)
Now solving equation 1 and 2.
From equation 2:
x = 300 - y
Now putting this expression in equation 1.
12x + 15y = 4140
12(300 - y) + 15y = 4140
3600 - 12y + 15y = 4140
3600 + 3y = 4140
3y = 4140 - 3600
3y = 540
y = 180
And,
x = 300 - y = 300 - 180 = 120
The number of $12 tickets sold = x = 120
The number of $15 tickets sold = y = 180
Thus, the number of $12 tickets and $15 sold are 120 and 180 respectively.
#1) x-8= -12
#2) 15+k= 2
#3) x/-7= -20
#4) (5/8)(x)= -20
The / in #2 means to divide and the ( ) mean to multiply
The value of x would be: 5
