76.44 mulch = x amount of gravel = 172
Gravel = 172 - 76.44
= 95.56
Answer:
y = -6, perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the points to find the slope of the line:

Then, using point-slope form, choose one set of coordinates to use for y1 and x1:




Since the slope of the line is zero, it's a horizontal line. The y-axis is a vertical line, which means that the line is perpendicular to the y-axis.
Answer:
x=-119
Step-by-step explanation:
23-x=142
-23 -23
-x=119
switch the signs
x=-119
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.
