The larger number is 97 and smaller number is 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The two numbers are x and y.

According to given statement;

x+y=119      Eqn 1

y-4x=9       Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 1

(x+y)-(y-4x)=119-9\\x+y-y+4x=110\\5x=110

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{110}{5}\\x=22

Putting x=22 in Eqn 1

22+y=119\\y=119-22\\y=97

The larger number is 97 and smaller number is 22.

It's a because 5 divided by 9 equals .555555555555556. The 6 is just from rounding the number. Otherwise the five would go on forever. The bar means go on forever. So it .5 with a bat over the 5

Tanzila is selling tickets to the MS127 musical. On the first day of ticket sales she sold 2 adults tickets and 10 child tickets
vekshin1

Answer:

One adult ticket is $4 and one child ticket is $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a system of equations

2x + 10y = 78

8x + 5y = 67

Solve by elimination, multiply the 2nd equation by -2

2x +10y = 78

-16x -10y = -134

Add the equations

-14x = -56

x = 4

The price of one adult ticket is $4

Plug 4 in as x to find y

2(4) + 10y = 78

8 + 10y = 78

10y = 70

y = 7

The price of one child ticket is $7

Please solve this equations y=6x²-5,y=17x-6/x​
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

x=3, y = 49\\x=0.5, y = -3.5\\x=-0.67, y = -2.31

Step-by-step explanation:

y=6x^2-5\\y=17x-\frac{6}{x}

Let's substitute the first equation into the second one.

6x^2-5=17x-\frac{6}{x}

6x^3-17x^2-5x+6=0 - Multiply by x and bring all the terms to one side.

I'll use my graphical calculator to solve this but you could factor:

x=3\\x=0.5\\x=-0.67 (All rounded to 2 decimal places)

Now we can substitute these x values into an equation for y.

y=6x^2 - 5

x=3, y = 49\\x=0.5, y = -3.5\\x=-0.67, y = -2.31
