The question in English
<span>A dance was attended by 270 people. If the gentlemen tickets cost 100 pesos and the lady tickets 80 pesos and 24800 pesos were collected for all the tickets. How many women and how many men attended the dance?
let
x---------> the number of men
y--------> the number of women
we know that
x+y=270----> x=270-y-----> equation 1
100x+80y=24800-------> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
100*[270-y]+80y=24800----> 27000-100y+80y=24800
20y=2200-----> y=110
x=270-y----> x=270-110----> x=160
the answer is
the number of men ---> 160
the number of women----> 110
the answer in Spanish
</span>hagamos
x--------->la cantidad de hombres
y--------->la cantidad de mujeres
Sabemos que
x+y=270----> x=270-y-----> ecuacion 1
100x+80y=24800-------> ecuacion 2
sustituimos la ecuacion 1 en la ecuacion 2
100*[270-y]+80y=24800----> 27000-100y+80y=24800
20y=2200-----> y=110
x=270-y----> x=270-110----> x=160
La respuesta es
la cantidad de hombres es 160
la cantidad de mujeres es 110
Its algebra. The original equation is

To solve for a variable, we reverse the order of operations, beginning with addition/subtraction, and then multiplication/division. To remove a number from one side, we must do the opposite to the other side. In this case, to get rid of the -121 we must add 121 to the -164. This gives us -43. Then, to get the x by itself, we must multiply the other side by 3. -43*3=129
When we are doing the opposite of an operation to the other side, we are really reversing the operation and, to keep both sides equal, we must do whatever we have done to one side to the other side. So when we have -121, we add 121 as it equals 0, therefore it is gone. Since a equation must be balanced, we have to do what we did to the other side (adding 121).
