Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to isolate the variable
3(x-4)=x+14
distribute
3x-12=x+14
subtract 14 from each side
3x-26=x
subtract 3x from each side
-26=-2x
divide each side by -2
13=x
flip sides
x=13

X = # of perfomances
y = total amount of money
Income: y = 7500x
Expense: y = 5900x + 88000
Substitution:
7500x = 5900x + 88000
1600x = 88000
x = 55
y = 7500(55) = $412,500
55 performances are needed to break-even.
Would it be 2.5??? I think it would but not completely sure
We can set up an equation to solve this problem. I am setting the number of marbles in a red jar to R.
R + R + R - 16 = 41
We solve this by adding 16 to both sides and combining all of the R terms.. This gives us:
3R = 57
We can finish this problem by dividing both sides by 3.
R = 19. So, there are 19 marbles in a red jar.
We can easily figure out how many marbles are in a blue jar by subtracting the total amount of marbles in 2 red jars from the total amount of marbles. I am setting the amount of marbles in a blue jar to B.
41 - 19*2 = B
B = 3
So, there are 3 marbles in a blue jar and 19 marbles in a red jar.
