Find the value of x and y from the equation ​

x = 5 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 3y = 16

3x - y = 12 multiply second equation by (-3)

(-3)*(3x-y) = 12*(-3) (remember we need to multiply both sides of the equation)

-9x + 3y = -36 now subtract this from the first equation

5x - 3y -9x + 3y = 16 - 36 (-3y will eliminate +3y)

-4x = -20 and 4x = 20 divide both sides by 4

x = 5 if 3x - y = 12 then 3*5 - y = 12

15 - y = 12

-y = -3 and y = 3

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130

answer: given that the roller coaster can accommodate 1600 riders per hour, thus the roller coaster can accomodate 1600 / 60 = 26.67 riders per minute.

given that there are 345 people in the line, the number of minutes it will take for the 345 persons to get into the roller coaster is given by 345 / 26.67 = 12.94 minutes.

therefore, it will take you 12.94 minutes to get to the front of the line.
