We are given the value of y.....y = -2x + 21...so we are going to sub in -2x + 21 in for y in the other equation.

-4x + 6y = -18
-4x + 6(-2x + 21) = -18....now we distribute through the parenthesis.
-4x - 12x + 126 = -18... simplify
-16x + 126 = -18.....subtract 126 from both sides
-16x + 126 - 126 = -18 - 126....simplify
-16x = -144...now divide both sides by -16
(-16/-16)x = -144/-16...simplify
x = 9

now we can use either equation...sub in 9 for x and solve for y
y = -2x + 21
y = -2(9) + 21
y = -18 + 21
y = 3

now we can check our answers...
-4x + 6y = -18
-4(9) + 6(3) = -18
-36 + 18 = -18
-18 = -18 (correct)

so ur solution is : (9,3)

A movie theater has a seating capacity of 329. The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of adults.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

170 children

74 students

85 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

$C = Children; S = Students; A = Adults$

For the capacity, we have:

$C + S + A = 329$

For the tickets sold, we have:

$5C + 7S + 12A = 2388$

Half as many as adults are children implies that:

$A = \frac{C}{2}$

Required

Solve for A, C and S

The equations to solve are:

$C + S + A = 329$ -- (1)

$5C + 7S + 12A = 2388$ -- (2)

$A = \frac{C}{2}$ -- (3)

Make C the subject in (3)

$C = 2A$

Substitute $C = 2A$ in (1) and (2)

$C + S + A = 329$ -- (1)

$2A + S + A = 329$

$3A + S = 329$

Make S the subject

$S = 329 - 3A$

$5C + 7S + 12A = 2388$ -- (2)

$5*2A + 7S + 12A = 2388$

$10A + 7S + 12A = 2388$

$7S + 22A = 2388$

Substitute $S = 329 - 3A$

$7(329 - 3A) + 22A = 2388$

$2303 - 21A + 22A = 2388$

$2303 +A = 2388$

Solve for A

$A = 2388 - 2303$

$A = 85$

Recall that: $C = 2A$

$C = 2 * 85$

$C = 170$

Recall that: $S = 329 - 3A$

$S = 329 - 3 * 85$

$S = 329 - 255$

$S = 74$

Hence, the result is:

$C = 170$

$S = 74$

$A = 85$
