Think the 4 less than but not equal to as a equal sign
step 1. isolate the variable ( variable must stand alone)
step 2. subtract 12n -12n=0
step 3. since you subtract 12n from the left you must do the same to the right.
step 4. 13n - 12n =1n
step 5. the equation should look like this -4 less than but not equal to 1n
step 6. isolate the variable n
step 6. divide 1n/1 on the right and on the left -4/1 it equals -4
so, n is -4
Answer:
24 premium tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Deluxe ticket = x
Regular tickets = x + 78
Premium tickets = y
x + (x + 78) + y = 208
4x + 2(x+78) + 10y = 714
2x + y = 208 - 78
4x + 2x + 156 + 10y = 714
2x + y = 130 - - - - - (1)
6x + 10y = 558 - - - - (2)
Now we can solve the simultaneous equation using elimination method :
From (1)
y = 130 - 2x
Put y = 130 - 2x in (2)
6x + 10(130 - 2x) = 558
6x + 1300 - 20x = 558
- 14x = 558 - 1300
-14x = - 742
x = 742 / 14
x = 53
Put x = 53 in y = 130 - 2x
y = 130 - 2(53)
y = 130 - 106
y = 24
