Answer:

x = 7

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 equations. The substitution method takes one equation and puts it into the other and solves for 1 variable. Then you take that answer and put into any one equation and solve for the other variable.

Since equation #2 is already given for y = SOMETHING, we take that something and put it into "y" of the 1st equation. Shown below:

x+y=5\\x+(x-9)=5\\x+x-9=5\\2x=5+9\\2x=14\\x=\frac{14}{2}\\x=7

We got x = 7

Now, we know from Equation #2, y = x - 9, so

y = x - 9

y = 7 - 9

y = -2

Hence,

y = -2

In coordinate pair, the answer is (7, -2)

After a storm damage is the community center sent Kiya and her friends hold fundraising events to help pay for repairs after the
andrew-mc [135]

Answer: the total amount of money that they wanted to raise is $2400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total amount of money that Keelan and her friends want to raise.

After the first event they raise $240 which is 10% of the total amount they want to raise. The amount of money that raised after the first event is expressed as

10/100 × x = 0.1 × x = 0.1x

Therefore,

0.1x = 240

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.1, it becomes

x = 240/0.1

x = $2400

Adult tickets for the school play are $12.00 and children's tickets are $8.00. If a theatre holds 300 seats and the sold out per
Vaselesa [24]
Let x = number of adult tickets, and y = number of children tickets. One equation must deal with the number of tickets, and the other equation must deal with the revenue from the tickets.

Then x + y = 300 is the number of tickets
12x + 8y = 3280 is the revenue from the tickets.

Using the substitution method:

x + y = 300   ⇒   y = 300 - x   ⇒   Equation (3)

12x + 8y = 3280   ⇒   12x + 8(300-x) = 3280   ⇒   x = 220

y = 300 - x   ⇒   y = 300-220 ⇒ 80

Therefore 220 adult tickets and 80 children's tickets were sold.
