2x 10 = 4x - 1
-2x - 10 = -1
-2x = 9
x = -9/2
y = 2(-9/2) -10
y = -9 - 10
y= -19
Answer:
0 = 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(2 - 2x) = 4 - 8(1 - x)
-4 + 4x = 4 - 8 + 8x
-4 + 4x = -4 + 8x
-4 + 4 = 8x - 4x
0 = 4x
Answer:
6 tickets were purchased at $47
8 tickets were purchased at $57
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the tickets purchased at $47 be x
Let the tickets purchased at $57 be y
We can form an equation from the question given which will be:
x + y = 14 ....... i
47x + 57y = 738 ........ ii
From equation i
x = 14 - y ........ iii
Substitute iii into ii
47x + 57y = 738
47(14-y) + 57y = 738
658 - 47y + 57y = 738
Collect like terms
-47y + 57y = 738 - 658
10y = 80
y = 80/10
y = 8
8 tickets were purchased at $57
Note that from i
x + y = 14
x + 8 = 14
x = 14 - 8
x = 6
6 tickets were purchased at $47
