Hello
x = 3y - 6
2x - 4y = 8
We need to start by solving 3y - 6 for x
Substitute 3y -6 for x in 2x
2x - 4y = 8
2(3y - 6) - 4y = 8
2y - 12 = 8
2y = 8 + 12
2y = 20
Divide both sides by 2
2y/2 = 20/2
y = 10
Now, substitute 10 for y in x= 3y
x = 3y - 6
x = 3(10) - 6
x = 30 - 6
x= 24
Answer : x = 24 and y=10
I hope this help!
Answer:
34
Step-by-step explanation:
$1.25 = 125 cents.
$42 = 4200 cents
Tickets sold at 75 cents = x
Tickets sold at 125 cents = y
x + y = 40
75x + 125y = 4200
Multiply the first equation by 75
75x + 75y = 3000
75x + 125y = 4200
Subtract the the second equation from the first.
75x + 75y = 3000
- 75x + 125y = 4200
-------------------------------
0 - 150y = - 1200
Divide both sides by - 150
-150y/-150 = -1200/-150
y = 8
Substitute y = 8 into the first equation
x + y = 42
x + 8 = 42
x = 42 - 8
x = 34
34 tickets were sold for 75 cents
8 tickets were sold for $1.25
Factorize the numerator and denominator, then simplify:
10/45 = (2×5)/(9×5) = 2/9
Now,
1/9 = 1/10 + 1/90
1/90 = 1/10 × 1/9 = 1/10 × (1/10 + 1/90) = 1/100 + 1/900
1/900 = 1/100 × 1/9 = 1/100 × (1/10 + 1/90) = 1/1000 + 1/9000
and so on, which is to say
1/9 = 1/10 + 1/100 + 1/1000 + …
or
1/9 = 0.111…
so that multiplying both sides by 2 gives
2/9 = 0.222…
