Question

Since opening night attendance at the play a has increased steadily while attendance play B Rose and then fell equation modeling the daily attendance why at each play are shown below where X is the number of days since opening night on what days was the attendance the same at both place what was the attendance play a y = 15x + 76 play b y equals negative x + 36x - 4

Answer 1

To have equal attendance at both plays A and B, we need to find the values of x that make y equal in both equations:

15x + 76 = -x + 36x - 4
Combine like terms:
14x + 76 = 36x - 4

Subtract 14x from both sides:
76 = 22x - 4

Add 4 to both sides:
80 = 22x

Divide by 22:
x = 80 / 22
x = 40 / 11

Therefore, the attendance was the same at both plays on the 40/11 or approximately 3.636 days after opening night.
