Go south(down) 4 blocks and west(left) 3 blocks!
How many times does (4) go into (37) ? 9 TIMES.
Remainder 1.
So as a mixed number would be 9 whole number, 1/4
= (9 1/4)
(13 + 20) + 15 = 13 + (20 + 15)
19.5 because 6 minus 5.5 is equal to 0.5 and if you just add 0.5 to 19.5 it will be 19.5
x = # of balcony seats
y = # of orchestra seats
We have to create a system of equations to solve this problem
x + y = 256
$8x + $12y = $2,716
We will solve this system of equations by elimination.
Multiply the first equation by -8
-8x - 8y = -2048
8x + 12y = 2716
Let's add the equations together
0 + 4y = 668
Simplify the left side
4y = 668
Divide both sides by 4
y = 167
We can subtract 167 from 257 to get the number of balcony seats.
257 - 167 = 90 balcony seats
There are 167 orchestra seats and 90 balcony seats
