John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of each general admission = $50

Cost of each VIP ticket = $55

Total tickets sold = 29

Total revenue generated = $1505

Let,

x represent the number of general admission tickets sold

y represent the number of VIP tickets.

x+y=29     Eqn 1

50x+55y=1505   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 50

50(x+y=29)\\50x+50y=1450\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(50x+55y)-(50x+50y)=1505-1450\\50x+55y-50x-50y=55\\5y=55

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{55}{5}\\y=11

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

x+11=29\\x=19-11\\x=18

John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

Answer:

1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The x in each point is 3 so we can leave that alone.

Then we subtract.

i have two points, (3,5) and (2,18) i need to find the exponential equation using these points. how do i do this?
Flauer [41]

Answer:  y = (5832/25)*(5/18)^x

==========================================================

Explanation:

Any general exponential function is of the form

y = a*b^x

Plug in (x,y) = (3,5) and we get

y = a*b^x

5 = a*b^3

If you plug in (x,y) = (2,18), then we'll get this other equation

18 = a*b^2

-------------------

So we have this system of equations

\begin{cases}5 = ab^3\\18 = ab^2\end{cases}

From here, we divide the two equations straight down. The left hand sides divide to 5/18. The right hand sides divide to (ab^3)/(ab^2) which simplifies to b. The 'a' terms cancel and we subtract the exponents for the b terms.

Overall, we end up with b = 5/18

---------------------

Use that value of b to find 'a'

18 = a*b^2

18 = a*(5/18)^2

18 = a*(25/324)

18*(324/25) = a

a = 5832/25

You could use the other equation as well to find 'a'

----------------------

Therefore, the equation in y = a*b^x form is y = (5832/25)*(5/18)^x

To verify this, plugging in x = 3 should lead to y = 5. Similarly, plugging in x = 2 should lead to y = 18.

What is a way that i can get 3x and 2x to cancel out in this problem? i need to get - 5y = -13 and + 15y = -3 alone.
finlep [7]

Answer:

For 3x + 5y = -13 the answer is x= -13/3 + 5y/3

and for 2x + 15y=3 the answer x= 1.5 + (-15y/2)

Step-by-step:

For 3x+5y=-13 you have to add 5y on both sides. Then you have to divide by 3 on both sides and cancel out the common factor of 3. Then you would get x= 13/3 + 5y/3.

For 2x + 15y=3 you have to subtract 15y on both sides of the equation. You should have 2x=3 + (-15y). Then divide by 2 on both sides. 3 divided by 2 is 1.5 and -15y divided by 2 is -15y/2 since 2 doesn't have the same variable. so the answer should be x= 1.5 + (-15y/2).
