Let, number of double rooms and single rooms are d and s.
d + s = 26 ....1 )
Hotel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $27 per day.
34d + 27s = 807 ....2)
Solving equation 1 and 2, we get :
34( 26 - s ) + 27s = 807
884 - 34s + 27s = 807
7s = 77
s = 11
And d = 26 - 11 = 15
Therefore, number of double rooms and single rooms are 15 and 11.
Hence, this is the required solution.
11.25 - 2.75 = 8.50
174 - 72 = 102
102 / 8.50 = 12
They bought 12 tickets
Edited answer: The number is: "- 6" .
_______________________________________________
8 (8 + x) = 16 ;
in which "x" represents the number for which to be solved ;
8*8 + 8*x = 16 .
Edit: 64 + 8x = 16 ;
Subtract "64" from each side of the equation:
Edit: 64 + 8x − 64 = 16 <span>− 64 ;
to get: 8x = </span>- 48 ;
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "8" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the <span>equation ; and</span> to solve for "x" ;
Edit: 8x / 8 = -48 / 8 ;
Edit: x = - 6 .
______________________________________________
The number is: "- 6" .
______________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "-6" for "x" in the original equation:
______________________________________________
8 (8 + x) = 16 ;
→ 8 [8 + (-6) ] =? 16 ?? ;
→ 8 (8 − 6 ) =? 16 ?? ;
→ 8 (2) =? 16 ?? ;
→ 16 = ? 16 ?? Yes!
