<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Jenna did 16 regular haircuts
Jenna did 8 haircuts with coloring
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
Assume that the number of regular haircuts is x and the number of haircuts plus coloring is y
<u>We are given that:</u>
<u>1- Jenna did a total of 24 clients, this means that:</u>
x + y = 24
This can be rewritten as:
x = 24 - y ...............> equation I
<u>2- regular haircuts cost $25, haircuts plus coloring cost $42 and she earned a total of $736. This means that:</u>
25x + 42y = 736 ..........> equation II
<u>Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for y as follows:</u>
25x + 42y = 736
25(24-y) + 42y = 736
600 - 25y + 42y = 736
17y = 136
y = 8
<u>Substitute with y in equation I to get x as follows:</u>
x = 24 - y
x = 24 - 8
x = 16
<u>Based on the above:</u>
Jenna did 16 regular haircuts
Jenna did 8 haircuts with coloring
Hope this helps :)
X=his fortune
15/16X=7500
X=7500 x 16/15
X=8000
The solution to this system is (x, y) = (8, -22).
The y-values get closer together by 2 units for each 2-unit increase in x. The difference at x=2 is 6, so we expect the difference in y-values to be zero when we increase x by 6 (from 2 to 8).
You can extend each table after the same pattern.
In table 1, x-values increase by 2 and y-values decrease by 8.
In table 2, x-values increase by 2 and y-values decrease by 6.
The attachment shows the tables extended to x=10. We note that the y-values are the same (-22) for x=8 (as we predicted above). That means the solution is ...
... (x, y) = (8, -22)
