Algebra.Com's Answer #162459 by elima4(15)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! d = door tickets \n" ); document.write( "a = advanced \n" ); document.write( "---------------------- \n" ); document.write( "d = 206 + a \n" ); document.write( "10d+ 6a = 6828 \n" ); document.write( "since we already have what d =, plug that into the second equation;\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10(206 + a)+6a = 6828 \n" ); document.write( "2060 + 10a + 6a = 6828 \n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms and subtract 2060 from both sides; \n" ); document.write( "16a = 4768 \n" ); document.write( "a= 298 \n" ); document.write( "Now plug that into the first equation; \n" ); document.write( " d = 206 + 298 \n" ); document.write( "d = 504 \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "Door tickets = 504 \n" ); document.write( "advanced tickets = 298 \n" ); document.write( ":) \n" ); document.write( " |
