Answer:
- 12x +15y = 4140; x + y = 300
- x = 120; y = 180
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation is for receipts. Each x ticket generated $12 in receipts, so the first term needs to be 12x. Each y ticket generated $15 in receipts, so the second term needs to be 15y. U in this set of equations is the total number of tickets, said to be 300.
The equations are ...
12x +15y = 4140; x +y = 300
__
Using the second equation to write an expression for x, we have ...
x = 300 -y
Substituting this into the first equation gives ...
12(300 -y) +15y = 4140
3600 +3y = 4140
y = (4140 -3600)/3 = 180
x = 300 -180 = 120
The number of tickets sold is ...
$12 tickets -- 120
$15 tickets -- 180
_____
You might want to notice that the equation we ended up with:
4140 -12(300) = 3y
is equivalent to this "word solution." This can be done in your head; no equations required.
If all the tickets sold were $12 tickets, the revenue would be $3600. The revenue is $540 more than that. Each $15 ticket generates $3 more revenue than a $12 ticket, so to have $540 more revenue, we must have 540/3 = 180 $15 tickets.

Triangles IJK and LMN are similar. Then, the proportion between their similar sides must be equal. That is:
IJ/ML = JK/MN = IK/LN
where:
IJ = x
JK = 54
IK = y
MN = 42
ML = 28
NL = 35
In order to find the value of y, you consider the equation JK/MN = IK/LN, and solve for y, just as follow
JK/MN = IK/LN replace by the values
54/42 = y/35 multiply both sides by 35
(54/42)(35) = y
45 = y
Hence, y = 45
Yes they are similar. ⃤SRQ ~ ⃤SBC
500. I remember by the saying 5 or more let it soar 4 or less let it rest, meaning 5 or more round up, 4 or less leave it.
