Question

a pottery studio gives 3 and 5 hr classes for 25 dollars a hour and has collect 2200 for 24 classes how many of the 3 hr and how many 5 hours were paid for

Answer 1

any help would be appreciated nin I know you have helped me bf so thanks in advance

Answer 2

i dot know that why im asking for help if some one steers me in the right direction i can get it from there i just dont understand how to start it

Answer 3

some we have to get one variable on the left side of the equation so if we subtract x from both sides we get y=24-x correct?

Answer 4

yes it is a system of equation correct

Answer 5

mabey i kind of get frustrated with these kind of equations and i know the step just finding out which ones go were is were i screw it all up

Answer 6

i undestand i know to find x or y you have to get the variable on one side of the equation to solve for x or y

Answer 7

x =695 i think if i did it right 3x +5(24-x)=2200
3x +115 = 2200
divide both sides by three to get x = 695

Answer 8

if x = 695 and y = 23 im still lost

Answer 9

you can't answer this...? unless they can sell half a class. i got 6.5 for y.

Answer 10

am i doing something wrong here?

Answer 11

did you write the question correctly?

Answer 12

i did 3(696) +5y=2200 the you get 2085 + 5y = 2200
subtract 2085 from both sides to get 5y = 115 then y = 23

Answer 13

that can't be possible though, since they only had 24 classes total

Answer 14

yes i is correct ari

unless they can sell half classes, this question cannot be possible :/ or maybe someone donated them money
