This is equal to:
When you add a negative number, it turns into subtraction.
First, I would change it to mixed numbers:
Now, you need to change the denominators to make sure they are the same on both fractions. I changed the first fraction's denominator to 4 so they match. You can do this by multiplying the numerator by 2:
Now, you simply subtract:
10-9=1
1/4 is your answer.
I hope this helps :)
Answer:
c is correct answer is yes
Let x = number of adult tickets, and y = number of children tickets. One equation must deal with the number of tickets, and the other equation must deal with the revenue from the tickets.
Then x + y = 300 is the number of tickets
12x + 8y = 3280 is the revenue from the tickets.
Using the substitution method:
x + y = 300 ⇒ y = 300 - x ⇒ Equation (3)
12x + 8y = 3280 ⇒ 12x + 8(300-x) = 3280 ⇒ x = 220
y = 300 - x ⇒ y = 300-220 ⇒ 80
Therefore 220 adult tickets and 80 children's tickets were sold.
