Answer: both our A
Step-by-step explanation:
They bought 8 orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of one orchestra seat = $42
Cost of one mezzanine seat = $25
No. of people = 14
Amount spent = $486
Let,
x be the number of orchestra seats
y be the number of mezzanine seats
According to given statement;
x+y=14 Eqn 1
42x+25y=486 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 25;

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2 to eliminate y;

Dividing both sides by 17

Putting x=8 in Eqn 1

They bought 8 orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats.

Answer:
No graph so we'll use the quadratic formula
x^2+x-4=0
a = 1
b = 1
c = -4
x = -1 +- sqr root (1^2 - 4 * 1 * -4) / 2
x = (-1 +- sqr root (1 +16) ) / 2
x1 = (-1 + sqr root (17)) / 2
x2 = (-1 - sqr root (17)) / 2
