Answer:
2x + 1 = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
m-9
Step-by-step explanation:
12-9= 3
14-9= 5
18-9= 9
27-9= 18
To answer this, you will write and equation in terms of the number of adult tickets sold and then solve for a, the number of adult tickets.
$5a + $3.50s = $2517.50
$5a + $3.50(a + 100) = $2517.50
5a + 3.50a + 350 = 2517.50
8.50a -350 -350
<u>8.5a</u> = <u>2167.50</u>
8.5 8.5
a = 255
The number of adult tickets sold was 255, and the number of student tickets sold was 355 (255 +100).
(i) Note that it is given to you that 3a + 2b = 9
You are trying to find the value of 9a + 6b. Find what is multiplied to both the variable a & b. Divide:
(9a + 6b)/(3a + 2b) = 3
Next, multiply 3 to the 9 on the other side of the equation:
3 x 9 = 27
27 is the value of 9a + 6b.
(ii) Note that it is given to you that 8x + 6y = 60
You are trying to find the value of 4x + 3y. Find what is multiplied to both the variable x & y. Divide:
(8x + 6y)/(4x + 3y) = 2
Next, divide 2 from the 60 on the other side of the equation:
60/2 = 30
30 is the value of 4x + 3y.
