3. Two-thirds of a number plus 4 is 76. What is the number?

108

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x+4=76

2/3x=72

x=72*3/2

x=108

Do the opposite of what they say

76 - 4 = 72

72 / 2/3 = 72 x 3 / 2 = 216 / 2 = 108

108 is the number

now to double check

108 x 2/3 = 216 / 3 = 72

72 + 4 = 76

108 is the number

Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

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
