Answer:
x = -25
Step-by-step explanation:
25 = -7(x + 5) + 5x
25 = -7x - 25 + 5x
5x - 7x - 25 = 25
5x - 7x - 25 + 25 = 25 + 25
5x - 7x = 50
-2x = 50
-2x/-2 = 50/-2
x = -25
Answer:
40 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion where x is the number of girls in band class:
= 
Cross multiply and solve for x:
3x = 120
x = 40
So, there were 40 girls in band class.

In the first octant, we assume

, so we can ignore the caveats above. Now,

so that the only critical point in the region of interest is (1, 2, 2), for which we get a maximum value of

.
We also need to check the boundary of the region, i.e. the intersection of

with the three coordinate axes. But in each case, we would end up setting at least one of the variables to 0, which would force

, so the point we found is the only extremum.
