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
Graph 1 would be the answer
Answer:
y = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1,2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, y)
m = 
, hence
= - 
( cross- multiply )
5(y - 2) = - 20 ( divide both sides by 5 )
y - 2 = - 4 ( add 2 to both sides )
y = - 2
coordinates of point are (4, - 2)
Backing out the bonus, we get 2711 - 250 = 2461, which is 161 more than his last check
