Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
40/5 =8
20≤8+12
20≤20
Answer:
4y-6y+9y=-2
-2y+9y=-2
7y=-2
therefore divide 7 on both sides
7y/7=-2/7
y=-2/7
y=-0.2857
Answer:
a=8
Step-by-step explanation:
-5(a+3)=-55
First you times the bracket by -5
-5a-15=-55
Then you add the 15 to -55 because since the 15 is a negative on the right it has to be the opposite to the left
-5a=-40
Then you divide both sides by negative 5
-5a . = . -40
--------- ----------
- 5 -5
a= 8
A system of equations is good for a problem like this.
Let x be the number of student tickets sold
Let y be the number of adult tickets sold
x + y = 200
2x + 3y = 490
x = 200 - y
2(200 - y) + 3y = 490
400 - 2y + 3y = 490
400 + y = 490
y = 90
The number of adult tickets sold was 90.
x + 90 = 200 --> x = 110
2x + 3(90) = 490 --> 2x + 270 = 490 --> 2x = 220 --> x = 110
The number student tickets sold was 110.
