Since opening night, attendance at play a has increased steadily, while attendance at play b first rose and then fell. equations modeling the daily attendance y at each play are shown below, where x is the number of days since opening night. on what day(s) was the attendance the same at both plays? what was the attendance? play a: y = 8x + 191 play b: y = -x^2 + 26x + 126

On 5th day and 13th day Attendance was equal for both plays and it was

231 for each .

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find same attendance ,we need  plug both equation equal

         -x^2+26x+126 = 8x+191

        -x^2+26x-8x+126-191 = 0

        -x^2 +18x-65 =0

      multiplying both sides by -1 ,we get

      x^2 -18x+ 65 =0

        (x-5) (x-13) =0

         x =5 and x =13

On 5th day and 13th  day attendance was same.

And attendance can be obtained by plugging x =5 in either of equation

 y = 8(5)+191

   = 40 +191

  = 231

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
