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?

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

Which inequality best represents that ice cream at −2°C is cooler than ice cream at 3°C? Group of answer choices −3°C &gt; 2°C −
ollegr [7]

Answer:

3°C > - 2°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Ice cream 1 = - 2°C

Ice cream 2 = 3°C

Lower temperatures are colder (cooler) than higher temperature values.

Hence, ice cream at - 2°C is cooler than ice cream at 3°C.

Hence, a temperature of 3°C is higher (greater) than - 2°C. Hence - 2°C is cooler (colder) than 3°C

Hence,

3°C > - 2°C

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6, 1) and is perpendicular to the line y = –3x + 2
sammy [17]
The slope of the given equation of the line, y = -3x + 2 is equal to -3. The slope of the line perpendicular to it is 1/3. The equation of the line may be expressed in slope-point form which can generally be expressed as,
                               y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Substituting the values,
                               y - 6 = (1/3)(x - 1) 
Simplifying,
                                 y = x/3 +17/3
The answer is not among the choices.
