Answer:

x = 8

y = 146

Error = 4.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of business class passenger = x

and the economy class passenger = y

Total number of passengers = 154

x + y = 154 ------(1)

Cost of business class tickets and economy class tickets are €320 and €85 respectively.

Total amount received by airlines is €14970.

320x + 85y = 14970

64x + 17y = 2994 --------(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 17 and subtract from equation (2)

(64x + 17y) - (17x + 17y) = 2994 - 2618

47x = 376

x = 8

From equation (1),

8 + y = 154

y = 154 - 8

y = 146

Airline officer wrote down the amount received as €14270

Then difference from the actual amount received = 14970 - 14270

                                                                                   = €700

% Error =  \frac{\text{Difference in amount}}{\text{Actual amount}}\times 100

            = \frac{700}{14970}\times 100

            = 4.676

            ≈ 4.68%

Therefore, x = 8 and y = 146

             and % error = 4.68%

the algebraic expression is 4(0.25)+2x=17

STEP 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

1+2x=17  or  2x+1=17

STEP 2: Subtract 1 from both sides

2x=16

STEP 3: Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 16/2

x=8

yea they're equivalent cause to solve the second equation sqrt of x+1 plus 3 equals 8 you must subtract 3 from both sides and when you do that you get sqrt of x+1=5 and thats the same as the first equation
