Simple...
you have: 15x+2=17
Isolate the variable (x)-->>>>
15x+2=17
-2 -2
15x=15
x=1
To check it-->>>
15(1)+2=17
17=17
Thus, your answer.
Answer:
x = number of tickets sold for $26 = 3900 tickets
y = number of tickets sold for $40 = 2100 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
A 6000-seat theater has tickets for sale at $26 and $40. How many tickets should be sold at each price for a sellout performance to generate a total revenue of $185,400?
Let
x = number of tickets sold for $26
y = number of tickets sold for $40
x + y = 6000
x = 6000 - y
$26 × x + $40 × y= $185, 400
26x + 40y = 185400
Substitute
26(6000 - y) + 40y = 185400
156000 - 26y + 40y = 185400
Collect like terms
- 26y + 40y = 185400 - 156000
14y = 29400
y = 29400/14
y = 2100 tickets
x = 6000 - y
x = 6000 - 2100
x = 3900 tickets
Hence
x = number of tickets sold for $26 = 3900 tickets
y = number of tickets sold for $40 = 2100 tickets
