We can setup an equation for this.

Boys to Girls = 2:7
Boys =  x
Girls = 250+x
Setup the ratio 
 x:(250+x) = 2:7
x / (250+x) = 2/7
7x = 500+2x
7x-2x = 500
x = 500/5 =100

There are 100 boys at the concert

Answer:

100 boys at the concert

Step-by-step explanation:

At a country concert, the ratio of the number of boys to girls is 2:7

Let 'b' be the number of boys in the concert

there are 250 more girls than boys

so b+250 are the number of girls in the concert

the ratio of boys to girls is b: b+250

Now make a proportion using the ratio

\frac{2}{7} =\frac{b}{b+250}

Now solve for b . cross multiply the fraction

(b+250) \cdot 2= 7 \cdot b

2b+500= 7b

Subtract 2b from both sides

5b= 500

Divide both sides by 5

b=100

So there are 100 boys at the concert

Our intervals will represent the x-values

We know that since there's an arrow pointing to the left of the line that it goes on infinitely

Same thing when the arrow is going to the right

Then we can just looking at the x-values on the graph for the intervals where it starts and stops
