Answer:
The general admission ticket number is 160 and the upper box ticket number is 136
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case we can solve it using a 2x2 system of equations, like this:
let x be general admission tickets number
let y be upper box tickets number
So:
6.5 * x + 10 * y = 2400
x + y = 296 => x = 296 - y
Replacing, we are left with that:
6.5 * (296 - y) + 10 * y = 2400
1924 - 6.5 * y + 10 * y = 2400
10 * y - 6.5 * y = 2400 - 1924
3.5 * y = 476
y = 476 / 3.5
y = 136
Now to calculate x:
x = 296 - 136
x = 160
The general admission ticket number is 160 and the upper box ticket number is 136
Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Your answer would be D to double check out into a calculator 2 divided by 15 and it’s the same answer
Total: 73
dogs: x
cats: 2x+10
2x+10+x=73
3x+10=73
3x=63
x=21
dogs: x
dogs: 21
cats: 2x+10
cats: 52
Check answer:
cats+dogs=73
52+21=73
There's no need for a system of linear equations if you were to solve a real life problem like this. In calculus, they don't give a rat about HOW you get your answer to an easy algebra 1 equation, as long as you used one of the correct methods and got the right answer.
Best of luck my friend. :)
