Answer:
an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number of adult tickets, and y = number of children tickets. One equation must deal with the number of tickets, and the other equation must deal with the revenue from the tickets.
Then x + y = 300 is the number of tickets
12x + 8y = 3280 is the revenue from the tickets.
Using the substitution method:
x + y = 300 ⇒ y = 300 - x ⇒ Equation (3)
12x + 8y = 3280 ⇒ 12x + 8(300-x) = 3280 ⇒ x = 220
y = 300 - x ⇒ y = 300-220 ⇒ 80
Therefore 220 adult tickets and 80 children's tickets were sold.
Answer:
x = 2, y = -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = 3
x - y = 3
Adding the 2 equations eliminates y:
3x = 6
x = 2.
Substitute for x in the first equation:
2(2) + y = 3
y = 3 - 4
y = -1.
Check the results by substitution in equation 2:
2 - (-1)
= 2 + 1 = 3 .
Checks OK.
