Algebra.Com's Answer #495086 by vanaynay26(3)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are going to make an equation that goes like this: \n" ); document.write( "11x+4y=154,000\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But you also need a scond equation and that will be: \n" ); document.write( "x+y=28,000 ------> y=-x+28,000\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, you will put it in the first equation like this: \n" ); document.write( "11x+4(-x+28,000)=154,000 \n" ); document.write( "11x-4x+112,000=154,000 \n" ); document.write( "7x+112,000=154,000 \n" ); document.write( " -112,000 -112,000 \n" ); document.write( "7x=42,000 \n" ); document.write( "__ ____ \n" ); document.write( "7 7 \n" ); document.write( "x=6,000 tickets sold at $11\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, you will find out how many for $4\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "11(6,000)+4y=154,000 \n" ); document.write( "66,000+4y=154,000 \n" ); document.write( "-66,000 -66,000 \n" ); document.write( "4y=88,000 \n" ); document.write( "__ _____ \n" ); document.write( "4 4 \n" ); document.write( "y= 22,000 tickets sols at $4 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
