<span>Let x=0.8888...
x=0.8888 Start with the given equation
10x=8.8888 Multiply both sides by 10. The goal is to move the decimal point to the next repeating portion (which is just one spot to the right)
Now subtract the equation x=0.8888 from 10x=8.8888 to get
10x-x=8.8888-0.8888
9x=8 Combine like terms. Notice how the decimal portions cancel out.
x=8/9 Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x
So the answer is x=8/9 which means that 8/9=0.8888 (where the 8's repeat)</span>

Xavier sold 21 (1/2) pounds of roasted almonds
Answer:
52 tickets cost $10 and 18 tickets cost $12
Step-by-step explanation:
10x+12y=804. (1)
x+y=70. (2)
From (2)
x=70-y
Substitute x=70-y into (1)
10x+12y=804
10(70-y)+12y=804
700-10y+12y=804
700+2y=804
2y=804-700
2y=104
y=104/2
y=52
Recall
x+y=70
x+52=70
x=70-52
x=18
52 tickets cost $10 and 18 tickets cost $12
