Question

The equations below represent the numbers y of tickets sold after x weeks for two different local music festivals

Answer 1

Assuming you mean y=10x+150 and y=20x+115, you need to use a simultaneous equation, because you have two equations with two unknowns (x and y)

rearrange so
10x-y=-150
20x-y=-115

multiply the top by -1, so that if we add the two lines together, the y will cancel out
-10x+y=150
20x-y=-115

add the two lines together
10x=35
x=3.5

so the time is 3 and a half weeks

then we can sub in x to find y
20x-y=-115
20(3.5)-y=-115
70-y=-115
-y=-185
y=185

so 185 tickets were sold !
you can sub these values into your original equations to check your answer :)
