Answer: x = 3.25, y = -1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 5

4x - 2(-2x + 5) = 16

4x + 4x - 10 = 16

8x = 26

x = 3.25

2(3.25) + y = 5

y = -1.5

on a certain hot Summer's Day 613 people use the public swimming pool the daily prices are $1.75 for children $2.25 for adults t
Elodia [21]

389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one child ticket = $1.75

Cost of one adult ticket = $2.25

Total people = 613

Total receipts worth = $1184.75

Let,

Number of children = x

Number of adults = y

According to given statement;

x+y=613    Eqn 1

1.75x+2.25y=1184.75    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 1.75

1.75(x+y=613)\\1.75x+1.75y=1072.75\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(1.75x+2.25y)-(1.75x+1.75y)=1184.75-1072.75\\1.75x+2.25y-1.75x-1.75y=112.00\\0.50y=112.00

Dividing both sides by 0.50

\frac{0.50y}{0.50}=\frac{112.00}{0.50}\\y=224

Putting y=224 in Eqn 1

x+224=613\\x=613-224\\x=389\\

389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.

The difference of two numbers is 33. The sum of the first number and four times the second number is -2. What is the larger of t
defon

Answer:

The larger of the two is 44.67

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number=x

let the second number=y

We can derive a system of equations using the mathematical statements

Their sum is 33:

x+y=33( call this equation 1)

Sum of first number and four times the second is -2:

x+4y=-2(call this equation 2)

Since the integer coefficients of x in both equations are the same we can quickly subtract one from the other to eliminate it

For this explanation, I choose to subtract equation 1 from 2

(x+4y=-2)-(x+y=33)=3y=-35

y=-35/3

Now plug in the value of y into any equation for that of x. Say we plug into equation 1

x+(-35/3)=33

x-35/3=33( multiply through by 3)

3x-35=99

3x=99+35

3x=134

x=134/3

Therefore,x=134/3 or 44.67 and y=-35/3 or -11.67
