For purposes of this exercise,

x

represents the number homecoming tickets, and

y

represents the number of general admission sold.

A-The system of equations is:

x

+

y

=

150

x

+

8

y

=

900

B- Attachment

C- Let's solve this system of equations by elimination.

x

y

=

The first step will be multiply the first equation for -5, we will have

If we add both equations

x

will be eliminated and the new equation will be:

3

y

=

150

y

=

50

Replacing the value of

y

on the first equation, we have:

x

+

50

=

150

x

=

The solution is

(

100

,

)

D- To be a solution for the system of equations, it should be a solution for each equation in the system. Plugging

x

and

y

values in the first equation

x

y

represents the number of tickets for general admissions, the numbers of tickets should not be a negative number.

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
