Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of these questions are always tricky, one thing you need to know, is you want to try to solve for one variable, and than substitute it in, to find the value of the other variable, and than plug that answer in to the original question to find the value of that other variable.

That probably sounds really confusing, so I'll just do the math, and guide you along the path...

<em>First, we are going to solve for y, and plug it into 3x-2y=42...</em><em />


2x - y = 26

2x = 26 + y

y = 2x - 26

----------------

3x - 2y = 42

3x - 2(2x - 26) = 42

3x - 4x - 52 = 42

-x - 52 = 42

-x = 94

x = -94

-----------------

3x - 2y = 42

3(-94) - 2y = 42

-282 - 2y = 42

-2y = 324

y = -162

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CHECK:

2x - y = 26   

<span />2(-94) - (-162) = 26

-188 + 162 = 26

-26 = 2<span>6<span /><span><span>          </span></span>CORRECT<span /></span><span /><span /><span />

--------------

3x - 2y = 42

3(-94) - 2(-162) = 42

-282 + 324 = 42

42 = 42            <span>CORRECT</span>

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: The required two number will be 247 and 248.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people at the Cineplex  on last Saturday=1486

Number of theaters are there=6

Number of people in each theatres is given by

\frac{1486}{6}=247.66

So it must lie between 247 and 248.

As the number of people in each theatre is  247.66 so , it may be between 247 and 248.

So, the required two number will be 247 and 248.
