Question

4. Create your own scenario for the variable expression below. Then, suggest values for the variables and solve. 14x + 12y​

Answer 1

Niall and Zayn buy 14 concert tickets for them and their friends to go see 5sos and 12 concert tickets for them and their friends to go see Little Mix with a total cost of $648. If the value of 1 5sos ticket and 1 Little Mix ticket is $52, and the Little Mix ticket is $4 more than the 5sos ticket, find cost of both tickets.

5sos = x

Little Mix = y

52 / 2 = 26

26 - 2 = 24

26 + 2 = 26

x = 24

y = 28

5sos tickets = $24 each

Little Mix tickets = $26 each

Answer 2

Cost of pencil = $20

Cost of copy = $6

Explanation:

Statement.

Gill buys 14 copy and 12 pencils and pays a total $324, if the value of 1 copy and 1 pencil is $26, find cost of copy and pencil.

Computation:

Assume.

Cost of copy = x

Cost of pencil = y

So,

x + y = 26.......Eq1

And

14x + 12y​ = 324.........Eq2

From Eq1 ad Eq2

Cost of pencil = $20

So,

Cost of copy = $6
