Hi there!
In order to solve, you can use substitution. This means that you use one equation and solve for one variable, then use that one equation and plug it into the other equation. Here's how we'd do it:
WORK:
x = 12 - y (since x is already solved for, we'll use that to plug into the other given equation.
2(12 - y) + 3y = 29 (using substitution)
24 - 2y + 3y = 29
24 + y = 29
y = 5
Plug the value of y back into the first equation
x = 12 - 5
x = 7
ANSWER:
A - x = 7, y = 5
It seems as though you're having some trouble with these questions, PLEASE MESSAGE ME!! I'd be more than happy to help you work through as many problems as you need until you get the hang of it (plus, it doesn't cost you any points!)
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
I cant see ur attached thing
We assume all money is spent on new lighting. Since they currently have $160 and need $400 we can subtract what they currently have from what they need.
$400-$160 = $240
Since we know the price of the ticket and now know they need $240 we can divide our $240 with the price of each ticket ($3)
$240/$3 = 80
So the drama club has to sell 80 more tickets in order to afford new lighting
