Answer:
(-8,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 2x-3y=-28 and x+6y=16
solve for a variable and then substitute back into other equation
x + 6y = 16
x = 16 - 6y; now use this in the other equation
2x - 3y = -28; substitute into x
2(16 - 6y) - 3y = -28; distribute 2
32 - 12y - 3y = -28; combine y's
32 - 15y = -28; isolate 15y
32 + 28 = 15y; add the numbers
60 = 15y; divide by 15
y = 4
Now use this to plug into other equation
x + 6y = 16; y=4
x + 6(4) = 16;
x + 24 = 16; subtract 24 from both sides
x = -8
Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4x+2=-5/8x-5
Add 5/8 x to each side
1/4x + 5/8 x+2=-5/8x + 5/8x-5
1/4x + 5/8x +2 = -5
Subtract 2 from each side
1/4x + 5/8x +2-2 = -5-2
1/4x + 5/8x = -7
Get a common denominator of 8
1/4 *2/2 x + 5/8x = -7
2/8x + 5/8x = -7
7/8x = -7
Multiply each side by 8/7
8/7 * 7/8x = -7*8/7
x = -8
1/6 + 5/8 =
8/48 + 30/48 = 38/48 reduces to 19/24 <==== total gallons of paint
60 children tickets and 190 adult tickets were sold.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let the no. of adult tickets sold be 'a'
Let the no. of children tickets sold be 'c'
Total tickets sold = 250
Cost of 1 children ticket = $2.5
Cost of 1 adult ticket = $4
Total money collected= $910
Given that,
a + c = 250
a = 250 - c
4a + 2.5c = 910
Substitute a value
4(250 - c) + 2.5c = 910
1000 - 4c + 2.5c = 910
1000 - 1.5c = 910
-1. 5c = -90
1.5c = 90
c = 90/1.5
c = 60
a + c = 250
a + 60 = 250
a = 190
60 children tickets and 190 adult tickets were sold.
