Answer:
-19 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-4(x + 1) - 3 = -3(x - 4)
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
<u>Distribute:</u> -4x - 4 - 3 = -3x + 12
<u>Combine like terms:</u> -4x - 7 = -3x + 12
<u>Add 4x on both sides:</u> -7 = x + 12
<u>Subtract 12 on both sides:</u> -19 = x
I think it is y=-.25
7*3 - 4y = 20
21 - 4y = 20
subtract 21 from each side
- 4y = - 1
divide each side by - 4
y= -.25
Wouldn’t the answer be 8 and 3
2414 total seats.......221 reserved.....x = non-reserved.....y = remaining seats
y = 2414 - (x + 221)
y = 2414 - x - 221
y = 2193 - x <=====
