If you are given y = (-3/7)x - 2 and you want it in the form Ax+By = C, then...
y = (-3/7)x-2
7*y = 7*( (-3/7)x-2) ... multiply both sides by 7
7y = -3x-14 ... distribute and multiply
7y+3x = -3x-14+3x ... add 3x to both sides
3x+7y = -14
The standard form equation is 3x+7y = -14
The answer is: x = 2 ∨ x = -1
Answer:
The Answer is that Senior Citizen Tickets cost: $4 and Child tickets cost: $7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s = the cost of senior citizen tickets
Let c = the cost of child tickets
The number of tickets sold for each type added together equals the sales for each day. Equations below:
Day 1
3s + 9c = $75
Solve for s:
3s = 75 - 9c
s = 25 - 3c
Day 2
8s + 5c = $67
By substitution:
8(25 - 3c) + 5c = 67
200 - 24c + 5c = 67
-19c = -133
c = -133 / -19 = $7 cost for child tickets.
Solve for s:
s = 25 - 3c
s = 25 - 3(7)
s = 25 - 21 = $4 cost for senior citizen tickets.
Proofs:
Day 1
3s + 9c = $75
3(4) + 9(7) = 75
12 + 63 = 75
75 = 75
Day 2
8s + 5c = $67
8(4) + 5(7) = 67
32 + 35 = 67
67 = 67
If we are looking to simplify two trinomials, it is easiest to put them on top of each other and subtract.
7x² - 2x + 5 7x² - 2x + 5
- (3x² + 4x + 10) -3x² - 4x - 10
4x² - 6x - 5
Answer:
b. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is rise/run = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (3-7)/(2-4) = -4/-2 = 2.
