1.1x+1.2x-5.4=-10x
Move all terms to the left:
1.1x+1.2x-5.4-(-10x)=0
Add all the numbers together, and all the variables
2.3x-(-10x)-5.4=0
Get rid of parentheses
2.3x+10x-5.4=0
Add all the numbers together, and all the variables
12.3x-5.4=0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
12.3x=5.4
x=5.4/12.3
x=3.8571428571429/8.7857142857143
Hope it helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>to show how many tickets were sold:</u>
x = upper floor tickets
y = main floor tickets
x + y = 2000
<u>to show total amount of revenue:</u>
25x + 40y = 62,000
<u>Finding answer using both equations:</u>
x + y = 2000
multiply each side by 25
25x + 25y = 2000 × 25
25x + 25y = 50,000
25x + 40y = 62,000
-
25x + 25y = 50,000
-----------------------------------
15y = 12,000
^ this is column subtraction
<em>^ this column subtraction is done to isolate y so we can work with one value rather than 2</em>
15y = 12,000
divide each side by 15
12,000 ÷ 15 = 800
y = 800
x + y = 2000
x + 800 = 2000
x = 1200
Therefore 1200 upper-level tickets were sold
800 main floor tickets were sold
If Nico gave away some red circles and you would like to know how many red circles does he have left, you can calculate this using the following step:
Nico has 15 red circles.
n ... the number of red circles that he gave away
15 - n ... the number of circles that Nico still has
The correct result would be 15 - n.
Your answer is 14/5. hope that helps :)
