Answer:
solution: (2, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 7x - 16,
y = 2(2x - 5)
solving...
7x - 16 = 2*(2x - 5)
7x - 16 = 4x - 10
7x - 4x = 16 - 10
3x = 6
x = 2
y = 7*2 - 16 = 14 - 16 = -2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of child tickets sold. Then 2c-14 is the number of adult tickets sold, and total revenue is ...
5c +8(2c-14) = 728
21c -112 = 728 . . . . . . simplify
21c = 840 . . . . . . . . . . add 112
c = 40 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 21
2c-14 = 66 . . . . . . . . . number of adult tickets sold
66 adult tickets and 40 child tickets were sold.
Short Answerx1 = 4.8284
x2 = - 0.828
RemarkSubstitute the value for y from the first equation into the second equation. Multiply by 4 and then see if it factors out. Solve for x first and then y.
Step one Solve for y in the first equation. Subtract x from both sides.
y = 2 - x
Step TwoEquate the two ys.
2 - x = - 1/4x^2 + 3
Step ThreeBring the left side over to the right side.
0 = -1/4 x^2 + x + 3 - 2 Combine the like terms.
0 = -1/4 x^2 + x + 1
Step Four0 = -1/4 x^2 + x + 1 Multiply through by 4
0 = - x^2 + 4x + 4
Step fiveThis won't factor. The only thing you can do is use the quadratic equation for roots.
a = - 1
b = 4
c = 4
x = 2 +/- sqrt(4^2 * 2) / (- 2)
x = 2 +/- 4 sqrt(2) / - 2
x = 2 -/+ 2 sqrt(2)
x = 2 -/+ 2 *(1.414)
x = 2 -/+ 2.828
x1 = 4.8284
x2 = - 0.828

Answer:
(-9) still means -9 it doesn't really mean anything thou....but if u have another number besides it then it means to multiply like maybe 2(-9)then it will be -18...... but if it is just (-9) then it doesn't mean anything.....
