Answer:
A) buddy = sadie + 14
B) buddy + sadie = 136
A) buddy -sadie = 14
Adding equations A & B
2 * buddy = 150
buddy = 75 pounds
sadie = 61 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Easy peasy, this is a representation of differnce of 2 perfect squares
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
Answer:
- x + y ≤ 600
- 5x +7y ≥ 3500
- it is possible
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We can write two inequalities, one for the number of tickets, and one for the necessary revenue.
x + y ≤ 600 . . . . . . . limit imposed by available seating
5x +7y ≥ 3500 . . . . required revenue to meet expenses
__
b) For x = 330, the first inequality puts one limit on y:
330 +y ≤ 600
y ≤ 270
And the second inequality puts another limit on y:
5(330) +7y ≥ 3500
7y ≥ 1850 . . . . subtract 1650
y ≥ 264.3 . . . . divide by 7
The number of tickets that must be sold to meet expenses is 265, which is less than the number that can be sold, 270. It is possible to meet expenses.
