The sum is adding
3 times a number is 3x
And 15 is +15
3x+15
I’m not sure what you’re options are but an equation in Y=mx+b form for this would be y= -3/2x + 5
M is always the slope
B is always the y intercept
Distrubutied (2+4)X(3+4) answer 42
Answer: Part A = (100% - 80%)P = 35, Part B = 140
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Percentage: Like + Don't like = 100%
80% + Don't like = 100%
<u> -80% </u> <u> -80% </u>
Don't like = 20%
People: 20% of Patrons = Don't Like
0.20 x Patrons = 35
<u>÷ 0.20 </u> <u> ÷ 0.20 </u>
Patrons = 175
<u>Now, let's write the equation we used to get that answer</u>:
Let P represent the total number of patrons, then the equation is:
(100% - 80%)P = 35
= (1.00 - 0.80)P = 35
= 0.20P = 35
= P = 175
<u>Part B: </u>
80% of Patrons = Like
0.80 x 175 = Like
140 = Like
Answer: x = $7, y = $6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the cost of an adult ticket
Let y be the cost of a children's ticket
Translate these sentences to algebra:
At the circus, three adult tickets and five child tickets cost $51: 3x + 5y = 51
Five adult tickets and two child tickets cost $47: 5x + 2y = 47
Now we have two equations. Let's use substitution to solve.
3x + 5y = 51
3x = 51 - 5y
.: x = 17 - 5y/3
Now substitute this value of x into the second equation to find the numerical value of y:
5(17 - 5y/3) + 2y = 47
85 - 25y/3 + 2y = 47
-19y/3 = -38
-19y = -114
.: y = 6
Now find x:
x = 17 - 5y/3
x = 17 - 10
.: x = 7
So an adult ticket costs $7, and a child ticket costs $6 :)
