Answer:
Option a :
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
The drama club sold 100 tickets to a show, it had $300 in profit.
The next show, it had sold a total of 200 tickets and had a total of $700 profit.
To Find : Equation models the total profit, y, based on the number of tickets sold, x
Solution :
For 100 tickets he had $300 in profit .
⇒ ()=(100,300)
For 200 tickets he had $700 in profit .
⇒ ()=(200,700)
We will use point slope form i.e.
--(A)
Now, to calculate m we will use slope formula :
Now, putting values in (A)
Thus Option a is correct i.e.
Equation 1: 
Equation 2:
We can either use the 'elimination' method or the 'substitution' method to solve this simultaneous equation.
In some cases one method is easier to use than the other. For this one, it would be easier to use the elimination method
We need to eliminate either the 'x' or the 'y' to begin with. Say we want to eliminate the 'x' terms, then the next step is to make the constant the same
Equation 1: the constant of 'x' is 5
Equation 2: the constant of 'x' is 2
To make the two constants the same, think of common multiple. The lowest common multiple for 5 and 2 is 10
Equation 1: Multiply all terms by 2 to achieve 10x
Equation 2: Multiply all terms by 5 to achieve 10x
Equation 1:
Equation 2:
Once the constant of 'x' is the same, then we can start the elimination process. Since our aim is to eliminate, one of the 'x' need to be in negative form. We can either multiply Equation 1 or Equation 2 by (-1)
Equation 1: -10x - 14y = -62
Equation 2: 10x + 20y = 80
Hence the correct answer is: Third option
