X = 2/3y - 2
x + y = 103

2/3y - 2 + y = 103
2/3y + y = 103 + 2
5/3y = 105
y = 105 * 3/5
y = 315/5 = 63

x + y = 103
x + 63 = 103
x = 103 - 63
x = 40

so ur 2 numbers are : 63 and 40

X + (2x/3 - 2) = 103 : Write the expression.
x + 2x/3 - 2 = 103 : Remove parentheses.
(x + 2x/3 - 2) × 3 = 103 × 3 : Multiply both sides by 3 to remove the fraction.
3x + 2x - 6 = 309 : Evaluate.
5x - 6 = 309 : Combine like terms
5x - 6 + 6 = 309 + 6 : Isolate x by adding 6 to each side.
5x / 5 = 315 / 5 : Divide by x to find its value.
x = 63.
63 is one of the number. Now, find the second number using its quantity.
2x / 3 - 2
2(63) / 3 - 2
126 / 3 - 2 = 40.
One of the numbers is 63, and the other number is 40.

Tickets for a concert are $40 for main-floor seats and $25 for upper level seats. A total of 2000 concert tickets were sold. The
Tems11 [23]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>to show how many tickets were sold:</u>

x = upper floor tickets

y = main floor tickets

x + y = 2000

<u>to show total amount of revenue:</u>

25x + 40y = 62,000

<u>Finding answer using both equations:</u>

x + y = 2000

multiply each side by 25

25x + 25y = 2000 × 25

25x + 25y = 50,000

25x + 40y = 62,000

-

25x + 25y = 50,000

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

15y = 12,000

^ this is column subtraction

<em>^ this column subtraction is done to isolate y so we can work with one value rather than 2</em>

15y = 12,000

divide each side by 15

12,000 ÷ 15 = 800

y = 800

x + y = 2000

x + 800 = 2000

x = 1200

Therefore 1200 upper-level tickets were sold

800 main floor tickets were sold

b. Minimum daily dosage is 100,000 units /kg

  • For this kid: 100,000 * 24.9476= 2,494,760 units/ day
  • in 6 dosis; 2494760/6= 415,793.33 units every 4 hours

Maximun daily dosage is 250,000 units /kg

  • For this kid: 250,000 * 24.9476= 6,236,900 units/ day
  • in 6 dosis; 6,236,900/6= 1,039,483.33 units every 4 hours
