Question 222201: please help me ! I need help
1. If -17 is added to a number and the sum is doubleed, the result is -9 less than thee number. Find the number
2.there are two types of tickets for a school play. student tickets and tickets for the general public. The total cost for one student ticket and one general public ticket is $8.00. the total cost for 11 student ticket and 14 general public tickets is $106> how much does a student ticket cost?

I can solve (4)
Let x = liters of the 10% solution needed
given:
silver Iodide in 4% solution = .04%2A7+=+.28 liters
Silver Iodide in 10% solution = .1x
%28.28+%2B+.1x%29%2F%287+%2B+x%29+=+.06
.28+%2B+.1x+=+.06%2A%287+%2B+x%29
.28+%2B+.1x+=+.42+%2B+.06x
.04x+=+.14
x+=+3.5
3.5 liters of the 10% solution are needed
check:
%28.28+%2B+.1x%29%2F%287+%2B+x%29+=+.06
%28.28+%2B+.1%2A3.5%29%2F%287+%2B+3.5%29+=+.06
%28.28+%2B+.35%29%2F+10.5+=+.06
.63%2F10.5+=+.06
.63+=+.06%2A10.5
.63+=+.63
OK
