Equation in slope-intercept form is y = 2x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given slope of the line, m = 2. Form an equation y = mx + b
⇒ y = 2x + b ---- (1)
- Step 2: The line passes through the point (4,2). So it will satisfy the equation. Find b by substituting x = 4 and y = 2.
⇒ 2 = 2 × 4 + b = 8 + b
⇒ b = -6
- Step 3: Form the slope-intercept equation.
⇒ y = 2x - 6
Lets say the number of adult tickets is x. This means the number of student tickets is 2x. So, 2x + x = 285, or 3x =285. The means x = 95. So the number of adult tickets sold is 95.
Let's consider that number to be 'x'..
So, twice the number (2x) is 12 greater than than the half of the number.
So the equation will be like,
2x=12+x/2
Solving this further,
2x=(24+x)/2
=> 4x=24+x
=>4x-x=24
=>3x=24
=>x=8..
So the number is "8".
