The computation illustrated shows that the numbers that can be used to get the sum of 42 will be 12 and 15.
<h3>How to compute the value?</h3>
It should be noted that the puzzle simply involves algebraic thinking. The goal is to find numbers that can be added together that will give 42.
From the information, it should be noted that 7 and 8 have been given. Therefore, this will be:
= 42 - (7 + 8)
= 42 - 15
= 27
Therefore, the numbers that can give 27 can be put in the box. An example is 12 and 15.

D is the answer as the both have solution x=-2 y=3
14x=-28 12(-2)-3y=-33
x=-2 -3y=-9
y=3
from the given equation
4x-y=11 eq 1
2x+3y=5 eq 2
x=y-11/4 from equation 1
subsitute this value of x in equation 2
2(y-11/4)+3y=5
y-11+6y=10
7y-11=10
y=3
subsitude this value of y in equation (x=y-11/4)
so x= -2
thus same solution so ANSWER IS D
Hey!
------------------------------------------------
-x = -1
This statement shows that y equals -1. Since it doesn't show a table or word problem then we already know that the constant of proportionality is -1. Or if you just have the expression just divide the number by 1. -x/1 = -1!
------------------------------------------------
Thus, -1 is the constant of proportionality!

You can work these in your head if you consider the revenue generated by the least contributor (children's tickets) and the difference in revenue between that and the larger contributor ($2.00 -1.50 = 0.50).
If all were children's tickets, the revenue would be 500*$1.50 = $750.00. The actual revenue exceeded that amount by $862.50 -750.00 = 112.50. This difference in revenue is made up by the sale of $112.50/$0.50 = 225 adult tickets. Then the number of children's tickets is 500 -225 = 275.
225 adult tickets were sold
275 children's tickets were sold.
_____
If you need an equation, you can write an equation using a variable for the number of adult tickets sold (the largest contributor).
.. (500 -a)*1.50 +a*2.00 = 862.50
.. 0.50a = (862.50 -750.00) . . . . . does this look familiar, yet?
.. a = 112.50/0.50 = 225
We want to solve 9a² = 16a for a.
Because the a is on both sides, a good strategy is to get all the a terms on one side and set it equal to zero. Then we apply the Zero Product Property (if the product is zero then so are its pieces and Factoring.
9a² = 16a
9a² - 16a = 0 <-----subtract 16a from both sides
a (9a - 16) = 0 <-----factor the common a on the left side
a = 0 OR 9a - 16 =0 <----apply Zero Product Property
Since a = 0 is already solved we work on the other equation.
9a - 16 = 0
9a = 16 <----------- add 16 to both sides
a = 16/9 <----------- divide both sides by 9
Thus a = 0 or a = 16/9
