That would be -20. a negative divided by a negative number is positive, positive divided by negative is negative bc even numbers of negatives make it positive. and ofc 20 x 5 = 100, hence the ‘20’
Answer: x = 1, y = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system of linear equations is expressed as
x - 2y = 11- - - - - - - - - - - - -1
- x + 6y = - 31- - - - - - - - - - - -2
We would eliminate x by adding equation 1 to equation 2. It becomes
- 2y + 6y = 11 - 31
4y = - 20
Dividing the the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 4, it becomes
4y/4 = - 20/4
y = - 5
Substituting y = - 5 into equation 1, it becomes
x - 2 × - 5 = 11
x + 10 = 11
Subtracting 10 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes
x + 10 - 10 = 11 - 10
x = 1
Answer:
1806 seats.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Row 1 = 24 seats
Row 2 = 27 seats
Row 3 = 30 seats
Total roll = 28
Total number of seat =?
From the above data, we can liken the roll to be in arithmetic progress.
Also, we are asked to determine the total number of seats in the theater.
Thus the sum of the sequence can be written as:
Roll 1 + Roll 2 + Roll 3 +... + Roll 28 i.e
24 + 27 + 30 +...
Thus, we can obtain obtained the total number of seats in the theater by applying the sum of arithmetic progress formula. This can be obtained as follow:
First term (a) = 24
Common difference (d) = 2nd term – 1st term
Common difference (d) = 27 – 24 = 3
Number of term (n) = 28
Sum of the 28th term (S₂₈) =?
Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n –1)d]
S₂₈ = 28/2 [2×24 + (28 –1)3]
S₂₈ = 14 [48 + 27×3]
S₂₈ = 14 [48 + 81]
S₂₈ = 14 [129]
S₂₈ = 1806
Thus, the number of seats in the theater is 1806.
