Answer:
-x-30
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>first you need to </em><em>distribute</em><em>:</em>
<em>3(x)+3(-6) -4(x)+ (-4)(3)</em>
<em>Then you </em><em>multiply:</em>
<em>3x+(-18)-4x+(-7)</em>
<em>then you </em><em>combine like terms:</em>
<em>3x-4x= -1x </em>
<em>-18+(-7)= -25</em>
<em>simplified:</em>
<u><em>-1x-30</em></u>
You can set up a system of equations for this problem. x= number of coach tickets and y = number of first class tickets.
$210x + $1200y = $10,230 (cost of coach ticket plus cost of first class tickets is total budget)
x + y = 11 (number of coach tickets plus number of first class tickets is total number of people)
Solve the second equation for y to get y = 11 - x, then plug that into the first equation and solve for x:
$210x + $1200(11 - x) = $10,230
$210x + $13,200 - $1200x = $10,230
-$990x + $13,200 = $10,230
-$990x = $2,970
x = 3
Sarah bought x = 3 coach tickets. Plug that into the second equation and solve for y:
3 + y = 11
y = 8
Sarah bought y = 8 first class tickets.
