Add both amounts together but both multiplied by an unknown value, x.
3x+5x=600
8x=600
8x/8=600/8
x=75
3(75)=225
225 boys
5(75)=375
375 girls

225 boys and 375 girls

A newly established clothing shop analyzed their monthly profit compared to the amount spent on advertising each month. The foll
Reil [10]
The maximum profit is the highest point on the curve at (3, 45), and since the y-value is the profit in hundreds of dollars, the maximum profit is $4500.
The shop is making a profit as long as the curve is above the x-axis, so this is over the given interval (0, 10).
The maximum profit is earned at x = 3, and the x-value is the money spent on advertising in hundreds of dollars, so this means that $300 was spent of advertising.

Will is twice as old as Jill. Three years ago, Jill's age was two fifths of Will's age then. How old is each now?
dimulka [17.4K]
"Will is twice as old as Jill."

                       Jill's age . . . . .   J
                       Will's age . . . . 2J .

"Three years ago . . .

                       Jill's age then . . . . .   J - 3
                       Will's age then . . . . 2J - 3

". . . Jill's age then was 2/5 of Will's age then."

                                         J - 3  =  (2/5) (2J - 3)
Multiply
each side by  5 :          5J - 15  =  2 (2J - 3)

Divide
each side by  2 :          2.5 J - 7.5  =  2J - 3 

Subtract  2J
from each side:            0.5 J - 7.5  =      -3

Add  7.5
to each side:                0.5 J           =     4.5

Multiply
each side by  2 :                J            =       9

Jill is  9  y.o. now.
Will is 18 y.o. now.

Write an equation of the line satisfying the given conditions. Through (2, -5), parallel to 5x 6y + 7
mojhsa [17]

We have to determine the equation of the line passing through the point (2,-5) and parallel to the line 5x = 6y+7

When two lines are parallel, then the slopes of the two lines are equal.

Equation of line with point (x_1, y_1) and slope 'm' is given by:

(y-y_1) = m(x-x_1)

Since, we have to determine the equation of a line with point (2,-5).

So, the equation of the line is : (y-(-5)) = m(x-2)

y+5 = m(x-2)

Since, the line is parallel to the line 5x = 6y+ 7

So, 6y +7 = 5x

6y = 5x - 7

y = \frac{5}{6}x - \frac{7}{6}

So, slope of the line  'm' is \frac{5}{6}.

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

(y+5) = \frac{5}{6}(x-2)

6y + 30 = 5x - 10

6y - 5x = -10-30

6y - 5x = -40

Therefore, 6y - 5x = -40 is the required equation of the line.
