A + c = 824 represents number of tickets to sell
20a + 12c = 13,344 represents cost of each type of ticket
multiply equation 1 by -12 to cancel the variable 'c' and solve for 'a'
-12(a + c = 824)
-12a - 12c = - 9888
20a + 12c = 13,344 add equations together
-----------------------------
8a = 3456 divide both sides by 8
a = 432
To find children's tickets substitute adult numbers back into equation 1.
a + c = 824
432 + c = 824
subtract 432 from both sides
c = 392
adult 432, children 392
The equation simplified (combine like terms) would be 11x+(-24) =180.
Since adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive, you could also write it as this: 11x-24=180. Next step is isolate the variable, so to do that you need to add 24 to both sides of the equation: 11x-24+24=180+24. This is the same as 11x=204. Now to get only one of the variable, you need to divide both sides by 11. x=18.54 repeating or x=18 6/11. Hope this helped!
Alright - we want to start off by seeing if this number would be positive or negative. Debit means that you owe something, or that you have to pay that amount of money. If you had money to buy things with, that would be positive, but since debit means you haven’t paid something off yet, that is negative. Next, since you have 40 dollars in debt, you have -40 dollars.

There is only one solution in the given equation -y2 − [-5y − y(-7y − 9)] − [-y (15y + 4)] = 0. In solving this problem, apply first PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponents,multiplication, division, addition, subtraction). Then equation will transform into -y2+5y-7y2-9y+15y2+4y=0. Combine terms with same power and achieve 7y2=0. Divide both sides with 7 and perform square root of zero. Since the root is zero, we have one solution of the given equation which is y=0.
