Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

6:(x+2)=2:5

6/x+2=2/5

cross multiply

2(x+2)=6×5

open the bracket

2x+4=30

2x=30-4

2x=26

divide by 2

2x/2=26/2

x=13

Tickets at a play cost $10 or $14. If 800 tickets were sold and $9,040 was collected by the box office, how many $14 tickets wer
pav-90 [236]
STEP 1:
determine equations needed

x= # of $10 tickets
y= # of $14 tickets

QUANTITY EQUATION
x + y= 800

COST EQUATION
$10x + $14y= $9,040


STEP 2:
multiply quantity equation by -14

-14(x + y)= -14(800)
-14x - 14y= -11,200


STEP 3:
add new quantity equation in step 2 to cost equation of step 1 to solve for x using elimination

-14x - 14y= -11,200
10x + 14y= 9040
y term cancels out

-4x= -2160
divide both sides by -4

x= 540 ten dollar tickets


STEP 4:
substitute x value in step 3 into either original equation

x + y= 800
540 + y= 800
subtract 540 from both sides

y= 260 fourteen dollar tickets


ANSWER: There were 540 $10 tickets and 260 $14 tickets sold.

Hope this helps! :)

-2x - 6y = -24<br> X-8y = -10
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

x = -26 and y = -2

I hope this is the answer you are looking for

Step-by-step explanation:

x-8y = -10 => add 8y to both sides

+8y = +8y

x = -10+8y

-2(-10+8y) -6y = -24 => intersect what you got into the first equation

20-16y-6y = -24 => Distribute the -2

20-22y     = -24 => subtract 20 in both sides

-20           = -20

-22y = -44 => divided by -22 in both sides

/-22 = /-22

y = -2

x-8(-2) =-10 => intersect the y into the other equation

x+16 = -10 => multiply -8*-2

 -16  = -16

x = -26 => subtract 16 in both sides.
