Examples:
3 x 2 = 6
7 x 2 = 14
Both are greater than 2 .
Counter examples:
1 x 2 = 2
-6 x 2 = -12
Not greater than 2 .
The number of presale tickets sold is 271
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "p" be the number of presale tickets sold
Let "g" be the number of tickets sold at gate
<em><u>Given that, total of 800 Pre-sale tickets and tickets at the gate were sold</u></em>
Therefore,
Presale tickets + tickets sold at gate = 800
p + g = 800 ------ eqn 1
<em><u>Given that, number of tickets sold at the gate was thirteen less than twice the number of pre-sale tickets</u></em>
Therefore,
Number of tickets sold at gate = twice the number of pre-sale tickets - 13
g = 2p - 13 ------- eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
p + 2p - 13 = 800
3p -13 = 800
3p = 800 + 13
3p = 813
p = 271
Thus 271 presale tickets were sold
If Dave has 15 dollars and must spend 8 dollars of it on a book, then he will have 7 dollars left. If he then buys two of the same cards for his friends, the most he will be able to spend is half of 7 dollars for each of them, which will be 3 dollars and 50 cents.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The intersection is the point where two equations meet. It is calculated by substituting terms into the equations involved. For the given systems of equation, calculations are as follows:
2x - y = 6
y = 2x - 6
We substitute the equation above to the second equation.
5x + 10y = –10
5x + 10( 2x - 6 )= –10
Simplifying,
5x + 20x - 60 = -10
25x = 50
x = 2
Therefore, the intersection has the value of x equal to 2.
We can get rid of the parentheses so it looks like this:
3x + 24x + 8.
Simplify:
27x + 8
