-2
Divide each term (-4x = 8 by -4)
Cancel the common factor of -4
x = 8/-4
THEN DIVIDE
x=-2
The other endpoint would be (4,1)
$10.50a + $3.75b = $2,071.50
It is given that b = 82
Therefore - $10.50a + ($3.75)(82) = $2,071.50
or $10.50a + $307.50 = $2,071.50
$10.50a = $2,071.50 - $307.50 = $1,764.00
Therefore - a (number of adult tickets sold) = $1,764.00/$10.50 = 168 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:
I put it in calculator and transformed it.
Answers:
- <u>24000 dollars</u> invested at 4%
- <u>18000 dollars</u> was invested at 7%
======================================================
Work Shown:
x = amount invested at 4%
If she invests x dollars at 4%, then the rest (42000-x) must be invested at the other rate of 7%
She earns 0.04x dollars from that first account and 0.07(42000-x) dollars from the second account
This means we have
0.04x+0.07(42000-x)
0.04x+0.07*42000-0.07x
0.04x+2940-0.07x
-0.03x+2940
This represents the total amount of money earned after 1 year.
We're told the amount earned in interest is $2220, so we can say,
-0.03x+2940 = 2220
-0.03x = 2220-2940
-0.03x = -720
x = -720/(-0.03)
x = 24000 dollars is the amount invested at 4%
42000-x = 42000-24000 = 18000 dollars was invested at 7%
----------------------
As a check, we can see that
18000+24000 = 42000
and also
0.04x = 0.04*24000 = 960 earned from the first account
0.07*18000 = 1260 earned from the second account
1260+960 = 2220 is the total interest earned from both accounts combined
This confirms our answers.
