-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20
multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.
(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20
Now we have:
-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14
Divide -2 on both sides.
-2x = -14
/-2 /-2
x = -7.
=============================================
To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20
4x + 2y = 20
4(-7) + 2y = 20
-28 + 2y = 20
Add 28 on both sides
-28 + 2y = 20
+28 +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2 /2
y = 24.
The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.
You may have to do this by yourself :P
Anyways, if you have any questions about this topic, feel free to PM me or any other users interested. Thank you for being part of Brainly! Have a nice day!
234 = a + s s = students a = adults
2a = s
after you get the equations you solve. plug 2a into the above equation.
so u get
234 = a + 2a
234=3a then divide 3 from each side
78 = a
so 78 adult tickets were sold

Answer:
The line equation is given as: 3 y = 2 x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, Y intercept is at point ( 0.-3)
So, at x = 0, y = -3
or, C = -3
Also, the point on the equation line is (x,y) = (-9,-9)
Now, by <u>SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM</u> of a line equation,we get:
y = m x + C : m = slope of line ......... (1)
So, substituting the values of C and (x,y) , we get:
-9 = m (-9) + (-3)
or, -9 + 3 = - 9 m
or, m = -6/-9 = 2/3
or, m = 2/3
Now, substitute the value of m back in to the line equation (1)
Hence, the line equation is given as: 3 y = 2 x - 9.
