400-10x. X is how many weeks
You need to factor the numerator and denominator...
(2x^2+4x-2x-4)/(2x^2-2x-2x+2)
(2x(x+2)-2(x+2))/(2x(x-1)-2(x-1))
((2x-2)(x+2))/((2x-2)(x-1)) so the (2x-2)s cancel out leaving
(x+2)/(x-1)
Answer:
36x + 24y = 423 (1)
41x + 38y = 585.75 (2)
x =$5.25
y = $9.75
Step-by-step explanation:
x = the number of student tickets sold
y = the number of adult tickets sold
36x + 24y = 423 (1)
41x + 38y = 585.75 (2)
Multiply (1) by 38 and (2) by 24
1368x + 912y = 16,074 (3)
984x + 912y = 14,058 (4)
Subtract to eliminate y
1,368x - 984x = 16,074 - 14,058
384x = 2,016
x = 2,016/384
x = 5.25
Substitute x = 5.25 into (1) to find y
36x + 24y = 423
36(5.25) + 24y = 423
189 + 24y = 423
24y = 423 - 189
24y = 234
y = 234/24
y = 9.75
x =$5.25
y = $9.75
