Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.25 = 125 cents.

$42 = 4200 cents

Tickets sold at 75 cents = x

Tickets sold at 125 cents = y

x + y = 40

75x + 125y = 4200

Multiply the first equation by 75

75x + 75y = 3000

75x + 125y = 4200

Subtract the the second equation from the first.

75x + 75y = 3000

- 75x + 125y = 4200

-------------------------------

0 - 150y = - 1200

Divide both sides by - 150

-150y/-150 = -1200/-150

y = 8

Substitute y = 8 into the first equation

x + y = 42

x + 8 = 42

x = 42 - 8

x = 34

34 tickets were sold for 75 cents

8 tickets were sold for $1.25

How do you create and solve equations in one variable given a real–world situation?
WINSTONCH [101]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) first eliminate constant(number without variable) you eliminate constant by doing the inverse operation(if constant is being added, then subtract)(if constant is being subtracted, then add it)

ex: if   x+9=32

subtract 9 from both sides to get rid of it

x=23

2) if there is another constant but this constant is being multiplied/divided then do the opposite operation to remove it

you could multiply by 3 on both sides:

x+9=69

x=60
