Okay, so the equation can be written as:

where x is number of student tickets, and y is adult tickets


8x + 10y = 1198

x + y = 130

Lets solve for x,

x = 130-y

Put value of x in first equation:

8 (130-y) + 10y = 1198

1040 - 8y + 10y = 1198

1040 + 2y = 1198

2y = 158

y = 79

Since we have to find student tickets, we will write:

x + 79 = 130

x = 51

So 51 student tickets were sold.

X=number of student tickes
y=number of adult tickets

total cost=8x+10y=1198
x+y=130
multipy second eatuion by -10 and add to first

-10x-10y=-1300
<u>8x+10y=1198 +
</u>-2x+0y=-102<u>
</u>
-2x=-102
divide both sides by -2
x=51<u>
</u>
51 student tickets sold<u>

Fiona is serving iced tea and lemonade at a picnic. She has only 44 cups in which to serve the drinks. If x represents the numbe
masha68 [24]
The number of glasses is restricted to 44 cups. So the number of iced tea cups and the number of lemonade cups that she can serve is, maximum, 44. Then, if you call x the number of glasses of iced tea and call y the number of glasses of lemonade, you have that the total number of glasses (cups) is x + y. And <span>the equation that represents the number of glasses that she cacn serve is x + y = 44. You can place it in other equivalent ways, for example, solve for y: y = 44 - x. Those two equations are valid answers because they represent the same equation.</span>

last month john spent 75.00 dollars on games. this month he only spent 63.00. he spent ___ percent less this month
aivan3 [116]
First, subtract 63 from 75 to find out how much it decreased. 
75 - 63 = 12 
Divide 12 by 75. 
12 / 75 = 0.16
In percents, that is 16%. 
He spent 16% less this month. 
Hope this helps!

I dunno how to solve this
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

First off you need to find the interval that four falls in.  

Four is not less than three so you can rule out the first one, four is not greater than 10 so you can rule out the last one.  But four is greater than three and less than ten, so it falls in the second interval.

So, now you can substitute four in for x for the second equation

4^2-7

16-7

=9
