Which one?

#

General rule is to figure out what the question is asking.

Almost everytime it is 2 variables

Then take those things as variables of your choice

Then find the info given regarding those things.

Write down the info in equation format.

You'll get 2 equations for 2 variables.

Solve them like we did in last question

The problem is that I don’t how to put the variables into a equation format, as you see the system I made for the first equation doesn’t seem to work.

Ok, let me review

#

Your answer is right though

#

I dunno why you multiplied by the money at the end.

They just wanted you to find the tickets sold

#

Not the money each age group made

#

Can you please help me make the system of equations for the last question?

edgy latch
#

Sure

#

What variables do you think it should be for the question?

#

The last

floral reef
#

I think it should be c for cost and maybe d for distance

edgy latch
#

Yes
D for distance

And

Days

floral reef
#

Oh ok, that means money is what days and distance are gonna be equal to

edgy latch
#

Yes

floral reef
#

Alright

edgy latch
#

Did you get the equations?

floral reef
#

I believe it’s this

edgy latch
#

That's correct.

You can solve it now like we did before👍
