If you do the problem in the order of operations (PEMDAS), it should be B. 18
It's an isosceles triangle. The best way to solve these problems is to just visualize the cross section. If you just think about it, it makes sense.
Hi,
a line is define by the following equation : y = ax+b
where a is the slope, and b the value for x = 0
so you have : a*3 +b = 3 for the first point
a*(-5) +b = 4 for second point
so you have a system : 3a+b =3
-5a+b = 4
so : 3a+b -(-5a) -b = 3-4
3a+5a +b-b = -1
8a = -1
a = -1/8
then a = -1/8 so , in remplacing a by it's value in one equation , b is : 3(-1/8) +b = 3
-3/8 +b = 3
b = 3 +3/8
b = 24/8 +3/8
b = 27/8
let's check : 3 (-1/8) + 27/8 = -3/8 +27/8 = 24/8 = 3
first point is correct
-5( -1/8) + 27/8 = 5/8 +27/8 = 32/8 = 4
second point is correct
line is y = -1/8X +27/8
People who purchased good seats will be labeled as a
people who purchased poor seats will be labeled as b
therefore...
5a + 2b = 660
a + b = 210
Now, all that has to be done is for the system to be solved.
-2(a+b=210)
5a + 2b = 660
-2a - 2a = -420
3a=240
a= 80
*3 people purchased good seats.
Now we can plug that number in
5(80) + 2b = 660
400 + 2b = 660
2b = 260
b = 130
*130 people purchased poor seats
Answer:
X= 6
Y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
10x-9x=24
10x-9(x-2)=24
10x-9x+18=24
x=24-18
x=6
Y=x-2
Y=6-2
Y=4
