Question 990886: Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen had the two top-grossing North American concert tours for 2008. Together generating $415.3 million in ticket sales. If Bruce Springsteen took in $6.1 million less than Bon Jovi, how much did each tour generate?
My work:
J= Bon Jovi
S= Bruce Springsteen
J + S = 415.3
J - 6.1
S + J-6.1 = 415.3 Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! SOLVING A SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS:
J= Bon Jovi's ticket sales
S= Bruce Springsteen's ticket sales
"Together generating $415.3 million in ticket sales" translates as
"Bruce Springsteen took in $6.1 million less than Bon Jovi" translates as
You could say that you have the system of linear equations
Substituting the expression for
into the equation , we get ---> ---> ---> ---> ---> .
Then, ---> = Bruce Springsteen's ticket sales (in millions).
NOT EVEN MENTIONING A SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS: = Bon Jovi's ticket sales (in millions) = Bruce Springsteen's ticket sales (in millions), because "Bruce Springsteen took in $6.1 million less than Bon Jovi".
"Together generating $415.3 million in ticket sales" translates as ---> ---> ---> ---> ---> .
Then, ---> = Bruce Springsteen's ticket sales (in millions).
