OMG PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!!!!! A local charity sponsors a 5K race to raise money. It receives $55 per race entry and $10,000 in

donations, but it must spend $15 per race entry to cover the cost of the race. Write and solve an inequality to determine the number of race entries the charity needs to raise at least $55,000.

Start with how much profit they are making off each race entry. People pay $55 to race, but $15 of that is expenses so they are only profiting $40 for each entry. Now write one side of the equality. They start with $10,000 in donations, and then have a $40 profit for each race entry. So 10,000+40x. X will represent the unknown number of race entries. What do we want that expression to be equal to? We want 10000+40x>55000. It can also be greater than or equal to, not just greater than. Solve for x. Subtract 10000 from each side resulting in 40x>45000. Divide each side by 40 to solve for x. X>1125. X needs to bbe greater than or equal to 1125. If there are 1125 race entries, the charity will profit exactly $55000, so the lowest number of race entries is 1125

Which of the following are solutions to 2x^2-8x-90? select all that apply.
Lyrx [107]
<span>Simplifying:
2x2 + -8x + -90 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-90 + -8x + 2x2 = 0

Solving
-90 + -8x + 2x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(-45 + -4x + x2) = 0

Factor a trinomial.
2((-5 + -1x)(9 + -1x)) = 0

Ignore the factor 2.
Subproblem 1:

Set the factor '(-5 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-5 + -1x = 0

Solving
-5 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + -1x = 0 + 5

Combine like terms:
-5 + 5 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + 5 -1x = 0 + 5

Combine like terms:
0 + 5 = 5 -1x = 5

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -5

Simplifying
x = -5

Subproblem 2:

Set the factor '(9 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
9 + -1x = 0

Solving
9 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + -1x = 0 + -9

Combine like terms:
9 + -9 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -9 -1x = 0 + -9

Combine like terms:
0 + -9 = -9 -1x = -9

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 9

Simplifying x = 9

Solution
x = {-5, 9}</span>

Solve s=2(lw+lh+wh) for w
Scilla [17]

                                                                   s = 2(lw + lh + wh)

Divide each side by  2 :                            s/2 = lw + lh + wh

Subtract 'lh' from each side:                s/2 - lh = lw + wh

Combine the 'w' terms:                        s/2 - lh = w(l + h)

Divide each side by (l + h):  (s/2 - lh) / (l + h) = w

Solve for a side in right triangles
natita [175]

Answer:

  2.30

Step-by-step explanation:

The side of interest is opposite the given angle, and the hypotenuse is given. The sine relation tells you ...

  sin(A) = a/c

  a = c·sin(A) = 3·sin(50°)

  a = BC ≈ 2.2981 ≈ 2.30
