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

Answer:
x = 6/4 or 1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+3=9
Subtract the 3 from both sides
4x+3=9
-3 -3
4x = 6
Divide both sides by 4
x = 6/4 or 1 1/2
Answer:
$104.27 is the amount at 3% and $20895.73 is the amount at 4.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Josie owes $21000 in student loans.
Let x be principal at 3% rate of interest
Time = 1 year
Formula:

A=1.03x
Interest = Amount - Principal
Interest = 1.03x-x=0.03x
So, (21000-x) is the principal at 4.4% rate of interest
Formula:

A=21924-1.044x
Interest = 21924-1.044x-21000-x=924-2.044x
The total interest she owes for one year was $714.00
So, 0.03x+924-2.044x=714
x=104.27
So, $104.27 is the amount at 3%
The principal at 4.4% rate of interest =21000-x=21000-104.27=20895.73
Hence $104.27 is the amount at 3% and $20895.73 is the amount at 4.4%
