Question 771655: a baseball team has home games on wednesday and sunday. The two games together earned $4994.50. Wednesdays game generated $1330.50 less than Sunday game. How much was taken at each game?
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = Sunday's game
x - 1330.5 = Wednesday's game {it generated 1330.5 less than Sunday's}
x + x - 1330.5 = 4994.5 {the two games earned 4994.5 together}
2x - 1330.5 = 4994.5 {combined like terms}
2x = 6325 {added 1330.5 to each side}
x = $3162.5 on Sunday's game {divided each side by 2}
x - 1330.5 = $1832 on Wednesday's game {substituted}
Sunday = $3162.5
Wednesday = $1832
