M=f+240

m+f=25000, using m from above in this equation gives you:

f+240+f=25000  combine like terms on left side

2f+240=25000  subtract 240 from both sides

2f=24760  divide both sides by 2

f=12380, and since m=f+240

m=12620

So there are 12620 males and 12380 females in the city.

To solve you start by dividing 25,000 in half. This gives you 12,500. Then you subtract 240 from it to find the number of females (12,260). Finally you subtract 12, 260 from 25,000 to find the number of males.

So there are 12,260 females and 12,740 males

Write the equation of the line given the points (2,0) and (3.-1)
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

y = -1x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find y = mx + b

Use the following equation

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Plug in the values

\frac{-1-0}{3-2}  = \frac{-1}{1} = -1

We have found the slope(m) which is -1

We have to find y-int b

Plug in any given x,y into the slope formula

-1 = -1(3) + b

-1 = -3 + b

2 = b

At last the formula is

y = -1x + 2

Use the table from Callie's Candies to answer the question.
frez [133]
We can use logic along with 3 linear equations to solve this problem.

For the three types of candies, we will write a slope-intercept form equation. We know what m (slope) is for each equation, and there is no y-intercept because there is no starting point.

Equations:

Mints: y=.96x
Chocolates: y=4.70x
Lollipops: y=.07x

Using the given information, we can use the equations in function form. We know what x (input) is for all three types of candy, and that will give us y (output), which is the total for that candy type.

Solving:

Mints: y=.96(.75)
Chocolates: y=4.70(1.5)
Lollipops: y=.07(15)
We just input our information into the equations. Using logic, we know that we will have to multiply the cost of the candy by the number of candies to get the total of the three types.

Totals:

Mints: y=.72
Chocolates: y=7.05
Lollipops: y=1.05.
*Recall that y=total cost of candy for each type.

Now, we just simply add the three costs up to get the total sum that the candy will cost:

.72+7.05+1.05=8.82

Therefore, all the candy will cost $8.82.

Three consecutive odd intergers have a sum of 27. find the integers
Misha Larkins [42]
Solve for x:
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 27
3x + 6 = 27
3x = 27 - 6
3x = 21
3x / 3 = 21 / 3
x = 7
The integers:
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 27
7 + (7 + 2) + (7 + 4) = 27
7 + 9 + 11 = 27
27 = 27

The integers are 7, 9 , 11
