Flip the situation:
X + 3.25 = 4.72
Subtract 3.25 from both sides
X + 3.25 - 3.25 = 4.72 - 3.25
X = 1.47
Answer:
Maximum number of people is 35
Step-by-step explanation:
With a total of $160 you have to pay for the bus and all the people. The bus cost $90 so you subtract that from the 160 because you bought (or rented) the bus. Then you have $70 left to pay for everyone's tickets. If each ticket is $2 then you can buy 35 tickets in total because 70 divided by 2 = 35.
-7x - 2y = -13
-7x + 7x - 2y = 7x - 13
-2y = 7x - 13
-2 -2
y = -3.5x + 6.5
x - 2y = 11
x - 2(-3.5x + 6.5) = 11
x - 2(-3.5x) - 2(6.5) = 11
x + 7x - 13 = 11
8x - 13 = 11
+ 13 + 13
8x = 24
8 8
x = 3
y = -3.5x + 6.5
y = -3.5(3) + 6.5
y = -10.5 + 6.5
y = -4
(x, y) = (3, -4)
