21000 people paid for general admission and 6000 paid for reserved seats. This is solved by making 2 equations. Out of 27000 people who were at game, x of them paid for general admission and y for reserved seats, thus
x + y = 27000
As said, daily receipts were 204000$. As reserved seat is 13$, y of them gave 13$ each (y*13$) and x of them gave 6 for general admission(x*6) and those two add up and we get second equation
13y + 6x = 204000.
This can be solved by transforming first equation into x = 27000 - y and then replacing the x in second.
13y + 6*(27000 - y) = 204000
13y + 162000 - 6y = 204000
7y = 42000
y = 6000
x + 6000 = 27000
x = 27000 - 6000 = 21000
Answer:
y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume you mean x squared in the first equation
Because both are equal to y, they are equal to each other so x + 5 = x^2 +3
If we then move everything over to one side, we get x^2 - x - 2 = 0
Then factorise it to (x-2)(x+1) = 0
And solve both parts separately
x + 1 = 0
x = -1
x-2 = 0
x = 2
Sub both values into the simplest equation in this case y=x+5
to get y = 4 and y = 7
