Solution :
2a + 2b = 7 ...1)
4a + 3b = 12 ...2)
In equation, 1)
a = (7 - 2b)/2 ...3)
Putting value of a in equation 2) we get :
4 × (7 - 2b)/2 + 3b = 12
2( 7 - 2b ) + 3b = 12
14 - 4b + 3b = 12
b = 2
Putting value of b in 3) we get :
a = ( 7 - 2×2)/2
a = 3/2 = 1.5
Now,
2x - 3y = 16 ...5)
x + 2y = -6 ...6)
x = -6 - 2y
Putting above value of x in eq 5) , we get :
2( -6 - 2y ) - 3y = 16
-12 - 4y - 3y = 16
7y = -28
y = -4
x = -6 - ( 2× -4 )
x = 2
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
6 tickets were purchased at $47
8 tickets were purchased at $57
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the tickets purchased at $47 be x
Let the tickets purchased at $57 be y
We can form an equation from the question given which will be:
x + y = 14 ....... i
47x + 57y = 738 ........ ii
From equation i
x = 14 - y ........ iii
Substitute iii into ii
47x + 57y = 738
47(14-y) + 57y = 738
658 - 47y + 57y = 738
Collect like terms
-47y + 57y = 738 - 658
10y = 80
y = 80/10
y = 8
8 tickets were purchased at $57
Note that from i
x + y = 14
x + 8 = 14
x = 14 - 8
x = 6
6 tickets were purchased at $47
