The drama club is selling short-sleeved shirts for $5 each, and long-sleeved shirts for $10 each. They hope to sell all of the s

hirts they ordered, to earn a total of $1,750. After the first week of the fundraiser, they sold  1/3 of the short-sleeved shirts and  1/2of the long-sleeved shirts, for a total of 100 shirts.
This system of equations models the situation.
   5x + 10y = 1,750
1/3x + 1/2y = 100
Let x represent the number of short-sleeved shirts ordered and let y represent the number of long-sleeved shirts ordered.
How many short-sleeved shirts were ordered?

How many long-sleeved shirts were ordered?

Answer:

150 short-sleeved shirts and 100 long-sleeved shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use elimination to solve this system of equations.  We will make the coefficients of x the same in order to eliminate them; to do this, we must multiply the bottom equation by 15 (1/3 of 15 is 5, so 15(1/3) = 5):

\left \{ {{5x+10y=1750} \atop {15(\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{2}y=100)} \right. \\\\\left \{ {{5x+10y=1750} \atop {5x+7.5y=1500}} \right.

Subtract the second equation from the first one:

\left \{ {{5x+10y=1750} \atop {-(5x+7.5y=1500)}} \right. \\\\2.5y=250

Divide both sides by 2.5:

2.5y/2.5 = 250/2.5

y = 100

Substitute 100 in for y in the first equation:

5x+10(100) = 1750

5x+1000 = 1750

Subtract 1000 from both sides:

5x+1000 - 1000 = 1750 - 1000

5x = 750

Divide both sides by 5:

5x/5 = 750/5

x = 150

asambeis [7]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

If two variables are proportional then

y\propto x

y=kx    ...(i)

where, k is constant of proportionality.

The given equation is

s=4c       ...(ii)

where,

s = number of cups of seltzer.

c = cups of cranberry juice.

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

Independent variable: x=c

Dependent variable: y=s

Constant of proportionality: k=4

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 4.

 (6,-3) and y = - 6x - 3
Hatshy [7]
Wait what's the question tho?
is it if this point is on the line?
cause it's not
-y=mx+b
3=-6(6)-3
-3=-36-3
-3 does not equal -39
hence, point is not on the line

The titanic was an ocean liner that could travel 247 miles in 9 1/2 hours. Another ocean liner could travel 1,233 in 1 1/2 days.
Oksanka [162]

For this, you have to calculate the Unit value,

Unit value of 1rst one,  247*2/19 = 26

Unit value of 2nd one, 1233*2/11 = 224.18

So, 2nd one was faster
