<h2>Answer:</h2>

Like you said, we need to use substitution to solve for y.

$x + y = 11\\-1(-x = -y - 9)\\\\x + y = 11\\x = y + 9\\\\y + 9 + y = 11\\\\2y + 9 = 11\\\\2y = 20\\\\y = 10$

Now that we've solved for y, we can plug in the number we got into one of the original equations. (You can choose either equation, but I will use the first one.)

$x + 10 = 11\\\\x = 1$

Now we have the solution of this system.

$(1, 10)$

Find the value of a and of b for which (a) the solution of x2 + ax -2<x < 4

KengaRu [80]

Answer: $a = -2$

$b = 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$x^{2} +ax$

re - writing the equation , we have

$x^{2} +ax-b$

we need to find the value of a and b for which -2<x < 4 , this means that the roots of the quadratic equation are -2<x < 4.

The formula for finding the quadratic equation when the roots are known is :

$x^{2}$ - sum of roots(x) + product of root = 0

sum of roots = -2 + 4 = 2

product of roots = -2 x 4 = -8

substituting into the formula , we have:

$x^{2} -2x-8=0$ , which could be written in inequality form as

$x^{2} -2x-8$

comparing with $x^{2} +ax-b$ , it means that :

$a = -2$

$b = 8$

University Theater sold 465 tickets for a play. Tickets cost $23 per adult and $13 per senior citizen. If total receipts were $7

liq [111]

Answer:

355 senior citizen tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a to the the ticket of adults and s to be the ticket of senior citizens, we can write two equations as:

$a +s=465$ --- (1)

$23a+13s=7145$ --- (2)

From equation 1, $a=465-s$ .

Substitute $a$ in equation 2 to get:

$23 (465-s) + 13s = 7145$

$10695 - 23s +13s =7145$

$-10s = -3550$

$s = 355$

Therefore, there were 355 senior citizen tickets sold.
