3(6x+2)-18x=12 (y=6x+2, so you plug in 6x+2 into the y in 3y-18x=12)
18x+6-18x=12 (Then you distribute the 3 to the 6x and to the 2)
6=12 (Combine like terms 18x-18x)
There is no solution. Hope this helps and makes sense.
Answer:
Check step by step explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Let x represent the amount of rides she takes, the 6 and 2.5 represent the amount of money required to enter
A(x) = 1.5x + 6
B(x) = 2x + 2.5
b) You can find this by making the 2 equations equal to each other and solving for x
1.5x + 6 = 2x + 2.5
3.5 = .5x
7 = x
7 rides make them equal cost
c) Plug in 5 for each of the equations and find out which one is cheaper
A(5) = 1.5 * 5 + 6
A(5) = $13.50
B(5) = 2 * 5 + 2.5
B(5) = $12.50
Carnival B is cheaper
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by solving for 
which is a common expression for both equations. Then in the first equation:
and in the second equation:
Now we make the two expressions equal so we get:
