I have to solve using two equations with two variables.
High School Musical El/ segundo High School put on their annual musical. The students sold 650 tickets for a value of $4375.000. If orchestra seats cost $7.50 and balcony seats cost $3.50, how many of each kind of seat were sold? 1 solutions
Answer 105962 by jim_thompson5910(28476) on 2008-06-14 14:03:12 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Let x=# of orchestra seats and y=# of balcony seats
Since the "students sold 650 tickets", this means that  . This is our first equation.
Also, since the total cost of x orchestra seats (at $7.50) and y balcony seats (at $3.50) is $4,375.00, this means that  . This is our second equation.
 Multiply both sides of the second equation by 10. This will make every number a whole number.
 Distribute and multiply.
So we now have this system of equations:
Let's use substitution to solve this system.
Now in order to solve this system by using substitution, we need to solve (or isolate) one variable. I'm going to solve for y.
So let's isolate y in the first equation

Let's graph the first equation  . To do this, we must first solve for y
 Start with the first equation
 Subtract  from both sides
 Rearrange the equation
Looking at  we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form  where the slope is  and the y-intercept is
Since  this tells us that the y-intercept is ) .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis
So we have one point
Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
Also, because the slope is  , this means:
which shows us that the rise is -3 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 3 and over 1
So starting at ) , go down 3 units
and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point
Now draw a line through these points to graph
 So this is the graph of  through the points ) and
---------------------------------------
Let's graph the second equation  . To do this, we must first solve for y
 Start with the second equation
 Subtract  from both sides
 Rearrange the equation

Now draw a line through these points to graph
 So this is the graph of  through the points ) and

 Graph of  (red) and  (green)
So from the graph, we can see that the two lines intersect at the point (-1,-3).

Now let's divide each factor of the last coefficient by each factor of the first coefficient
Now simplify
These are all the distinct rational zeros of the function that could occur

Graphs/145290: I'm still having trouble with the graph method.Could someone please show me how to do a couple of my practice problems? Also when you draw the lines on the graph,could you please draw the dots first,so I can understand how you got where the lines go?
1) -x + y = -1
x + y = 3
2) 3x + y = -6
x + y = -4
I want to think you for all your help and time in advance.I think people like you are wonderful,because you help people like me that want to understand math concepts,but are still having some difficulties. Elle J 1 solutions

Once again, I'll do the first one to get you started (hopefully in the right direction)
Let's graph the first equation  . To do this, we must first solve for y
 Start with the first equation
 Add  to both sides
 Rearrange the equation
Looking at  we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form  where the slope is  and the y-intercept is
Since  this tells us that the y-intercept is ) .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis
So we have one point
Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
Also, because the slope is  , this means:
which shows us that the rise is 1 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 1 and over 1
So starting at ) , go up 1 unit
and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point
Now draw a line through these points to graph
 So this is the graph of  through the points ) and
-----------------------------------------
Now let's graph the second equation  . To do this, we must first solve for y
 Start with the second equation
 Subtract  from both sides
 Rearrange the equation
Looking at  we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form  where the slope is  and the y-intercept is
Since  this tells us that the y-intercept is ) .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis
So we have one point
Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
Also, because the slope is  , this means:
which shows us that the rise is -1 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 1 and over 1
So starting at ) , go down 1 unit
and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point
Now draw a line through these points to graph
 So this is the graph of  through the points ) and
------------------------------
Now let's graph the two equations together
 Graph of  (red) and  (green)
So from the graph, we can see that the two lines intersect at the point (2,1).

Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
Also, because the slope is  , this means:
which shows us that the rise is -3 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 3 and over 1
So starting at ) , go down 3 units
and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point
Now draw a line through these points to graph
 So this is the graph of  through the points ) and

 Graph of  (red) and  (green)
So from the graph, we can see that the two lines intersect at the point (-1,-3).

 Start with the given equation
Let's find the x-intercept
To find the x-intercept, let y=0 and solve for x:
 Plug in
 Simplify
 Divide both sides by 3
 Reduce
So the x-intercept is ) (note: the x-intercept will always have a y-coordinate equal to zero)
------------------
 Start with the given equation
Now let's find the y-intercept
To find the y-intercept, let x=0 and solve for y:
 Plug in

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the given equation
Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have  , then  or  )
 or  Set the expression  equal to the original value 32 and it's opposite -32
Now lets focus on the first equation
 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x
 Divide
Now lets focus on the second equation
 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x

1000 tickets for prizes are sold for $2 each. Seven prizes will be awarded – one for $400, one for $200, and five for $50. Steven purchases one of the tickets.
400(1/1000) + 200(1/1000) + 50(5/1000) – 2(993/1000) = -1.14
a) Find the expected value expected value is -$1.14

You can put this solution on YOUR website!a) You are correct.
b) To find the fair price, replace the 2 with x and the -1.14 with 0 (since a "fair" price means that the player will break even) to get
 Multiply
 Combine like terms
 Subtract  from both sides
 Multiply both sides by  to completely isolate x
 Multiply
 Use a calculator to approximate the fraction
 Round to the nearest hundredth
So the fair price of the ticket is about 86 cents.
