Earl isn't correct: the number 1,456 represents the total number of tickets sold, rather than simply six times the number of tickets sold.
Let x= the discount ticket price
1456 = 6x + x
1456 = 7x
x = 28
28 discount tickets were sold. The total number of tickets sold is equal to both the number of discount tickets sold plus six times that number: 1,456 = 6x+ x. Solve for x.
Answer:
y=4x+10
Step-by-step explanation:
2y-8x-20=0
2y-8x=0+20
2y-8x=20
2y=8x+20
y=4x+10
Hope this will help!!:)
