Answer:

First number is 6

Second number is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick is that we need to set up two equations. Nor simplicity's sake I'm going to say the first number is x and the second number is y.

First we know that the first number (x) is 4 less than the second number (y).

Less means subtraction.

x-4=y

Then we know that 4 times x is 14 more than 5 times the second. More is addition and times is multiplication.

4x=14+5y

Now we use substitution to find out what x (the first number) is, subbing x-4 in for y.

4x=14+5(x-4)

4x=14+5x-20

-x=-6

x=6

First number is 6

Lastly, we sub 6 back into one of the equations. It's easier to us the first equation.

x-4=y

6-4=y

2=y

The second number is 2

Determine the x-intercept for 3x + 2y = 14.
spin [16.1K]

First isolate y

3x + 2y = 14

-3x              -3x

2y = -3x + 14

y = -3/2x + 14/2

y = -3/2x + 7

X-intercept is found when y = 0

0 = -3/2x + 7

-7 = -3/2x

x = 14/3

x-in. = (14/3,0)

A small theater with 200 seats sells two kinds of tickets for a performance. Premium tickets sell for $20 each and Standard tick
KATRIN_1 [288]
P + s = 200......p = 200 - s
20p + 15s = 3400

20(200 - s) + 15s = 3400
4000 - 20s + 15s = 3400
-20s + 15s = 3400 - 4000
-5s = - 600
s = -600/-5
s = 120 <=== there were 120 standard tickets sold

p + s = 200
p + 120 = 200
p = 200 - 120
p = 80 <=== there were 80 premium tickets sold
