Question 379446: b) A family of 2 adults and 3 kids go and watch a movie. The price of an adult ticket is m and the price of a child ticket is n such that:
2m + 3n = 28 and n = 12 - m
I thought I would solve it by simply doing
2m+3(0)=28 and then solve for n the same but this is not working out.
2m=28
m=14

Question 381350: how can i graph the system of 2x-2y=-4 and 4x-4y=2 and describe its solution?
Click here to see answer by stanbon(57222) About Me 

Question 381352: Could someone please help? I need to graph a system of linear inequalities, then test to see what satisfies both. Here is the system:

x+y>4
x+y<-1
Here's what I have done so far:
For Line 1, the first inequality:
x-intercept is (4,0) and y-intercept is (0,4)
For Line 2, the second inequality:
x-intercept is (-1,0) and y-intercept is (0,-1).
Ok, both these lines are dashed lines, since neither are equal, and therefore included, so I end up with two parallel dashed lines. My problem: I can't find an answer to satisfy BOTH inequalities, so I don't know what to shade in as "true".
Can someone please set me straight and tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you!!!
