Systems of linear equations ; elimination method<br><br><br> pls help&lt;3
Basile [38]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

System

  • 10s +25t = 11700
  • s -2t = 0

Solution

  • s = 520
  • t = 260
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let s and t represent single-entry and three-day tickets, respectively. These variables represent the numbers we're asked to find: "how many of each [ticket type] he sold."

We are given the revenue from each ticket type, and the total revenue, so we can write an equation based on the relation between prices, numbers sold, and revenue:

... 10s +25t = 11700 . . . . . equation for total revenue

We are also given a relation between the two number of tickets sold:

... s = 2t . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . twice as many single tickets were sold as 3-day

We can rearrange this second equation to put it into standard form. That makes it easier to see what to do to eliminate a variable.

... s -2t = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2t to put into standard form

So, our system of equations is ...

  • 10s +25t = 11700
  • s -2t = 0

<em>What </em>elimination<em> is all about</em>

The idea with "elimination" is to find a multiple of one (or both) equations such that the coefficients of one of the variables are opposite. Then, the result of adding those multiples will be to eliminate that variable.

Here, we can multiply the second equation by -10 to make the coefficient of s be -10, the opposite of its value in the first equation. (We could also multiply the first equation by -0.1 to achieve the same result. This would result in a non-integer value for the coefficient of t, but the solution process would still work.)

Alternatively, we can multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 25 to give two equations with 50t and -50t as the t-variable terms. These would cancel when added, so would eliminate the t variable. (It seems like more work to do that, so we'll choose the first option.)

<em>Solution by elimination</em>

... 10s +25t = 11700 . . . . our first equation

... -10s +20t = 0 . . . . . . . second equation of our system, multiplied by -10

... 45t = 11700 . . . . . . . . .the sum of these two equations (s-term eliminated)

... t = 11700/45 = 260 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

... s = 2t = 520 . . . . . . . . . . use the relationship with s to find s

_____

<em>Solution using your number sense</em>

As soon as you see there is a relation between single-day tickets and 3-day tickets, you can realize that all you need to do is bundle the tickets according to that relation, then find the number of bundles. Here, 2 single-day tickets and 1 three-day ticket will bundle to give a package worth 2×$10 + $25 = $45. Then the revenue of $11700 will be $11700/$45 = 260 packages of tickets. That amounts to 260 three-day tickets and 520 single-day tickets.

(You may notice that our elimination solution effectively computes this same result, where "t" and the number of "packages" is the same value (since there is 1 "t" in the package).)

Ordered pair for 3x + 5y = 2 <br><br> 9x + 11y = 14
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x - 15y = -6

9x + 11y = 14

-4y = 8

y = -2

3x - 10 = 2

3x = 12

x = 4

I need help seeing what I did wrong
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:  The two roots are x = 3/2 and x = -2

=========================================================

Explanation:

You have the right idea so far. But the two numbers should be 3 and -4 since

  • 3*(-4) = -12
  • 3+(-4) = -1

The -1 being the coefficient of the x term.

This means you need to change the -3x and 4x to 3x and -4x respectively. The other inner boxes are correct.

---------

Refer to the diagram below to see one way to fill out the box method, and that helps determine the factorization.

If we place a 2x to the left of -2x^2, then we need an -x up top because 2x*(-x) = -2x^2

Then based on that outer 2x, we need a -2 up top over the -4x. That way we get 2x*(-2) = -4x

So we have the factor -x-2 along the top

The last thing missing is the -3 to the left of 3x. Note how -3*(-x) = 3x in the left corner and -3*(-2) = 6 in the lower right corner.

We have the factor 2x-3 along the left side.

---------

The two factors are (2x-3) and (-x-2) which leads to the factorization (x+3)(-x+2)

The last thing to do is set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x

  • 2x-3 = 0 solves to x = 3/2 = 1.5
  • -x-2 = 0 solves to x = -2

The two roots are x = 3/2 and x = -2

I have k quarters, five less quarters than nickels and one more than twice as many dimes as quarters. Find the value of the coin
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

(35k + 20) cents

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us have the value of each unit:

1 quarter = 25 cents

1 nickel = 5 cents

1 dime = 10 cents

Given that number of quarter = k

Quarters are 5 lesser than Nickels, so number of nickels = k+5

One more than twice as many dimes as quarters:

k = 2 \times Number of Dimes + 1

So, number of dimes = \frac{1}{2}(k-1)

Value of quarters = 25 \times k cents

Value of nickels = 5 \times (k+5) = (5k+25)\ cents

Value of dimes = \frac{1}{2}(k-1) \times 10 = (5k-5)\ cents

So, total value of coins =

25k + 5k +25 +5k-5\\\Rightarrow (35k+20)\ cents
