Enter an equation to model this situation.​

Answer 1

The required equation to model is
`6x+10y=2050`

Explanation:

Consider the provided information

Tickets for the homecoming dance cost $6 in advance.

Let the homecoming committee dance sells x tickets in advance.

Thus the cost of x tickets will be: 6x.

They cost is $10 at the door and they sell y tickets at the door.

Thus the cost of y tickets will be: 10y.

The committee raises a total of $2050 from tickets sales.

That means the sum of 6x and 10y must be equal to $2050.

Therefore, the required equation to model is
`6x+10y=2050`

Answer 2

6x+10y=2050

Explanation:

because its 6 dollars at the door the 6 is the coefficient of the x as for the 10y and it equals 2050 because that's how much money they raised
