Answer: the total amount of money that they wanted to raise is $2400
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the total amount of money that Keelan and her friends want to raise.
After the first event they raise $240 which is 10% of the total amount they want to raise. The amount of money that raised after the first event is expressed as
10/100 × x = 0.1 × x = 0.1x
Therefore,
0.1x = 240
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.1, it becomes
x = 240/0.1
x = $2400
I think it is 32, bc the value of x is 20 so your problem would look like this; 2 ( (20) - 4 )
X + y = 2 —> y = 2 - x
insert to first equation
2-x=x^2-3x-6
x^2 - 3x - 6 - 2 + x = 0
x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0
(x-4)(x+2) = 0
x = 4 or x = -2
