X=number of girls.
y=number of boys.
We can suggest this system of equations:
2/7 x=3/5 y ⇒10x=21y   ⇒x=21/10 y
y=x-165 

We can solve this problem by substitution method:
x=(21/10)(x-165)
10x=21x-3465
10x-21x=-3465
-11x=-3465
x=-3465 /-11=315

y=x-165=315-165=150

Number of children=number of girls + number of boys
Number of children=315 +150=465

Answer: there were 465 children  at the festival.

1. One week Carlos bought 3 bags of Tabitha Tidbits and 4 bags of Figaro Flakes for $43.00. The next week he bought 3 bags of Ta
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Tabitha Tidbits costs $7 per bag, and Figaro Flakes is $5.50 per bag.
You need to set up a system of equations. Use "x" for Tabitha Tidbits and "y" for Figaro Flakes, and let the total cost of each trip equal c. Using the equation ax+by=c, substitute the cost of each trip in for c, and the number of bags for each food for a and b respectively. The two equations will be:
3x+4y=43
3x+6y=54
Isolate x in the first equation and you will get:
x=(43-4y)/3
Substitute the above equation for x into the other equation:
3*((43-4y)/3)+6y=54
Isolate y in this equation, and you will get 11/2, which is 5.5
So the cost of one bag of Figaro Flakes is $5.50
Now substitute this into the equation where you isolated x:
(43-4(5.5))/3
You will get x=7, so a bag of Tabitha Tidbits is $7

What relation does not have an initial value of 50
Mamont248 [21]
I guess itz B because with the rest, a number can be added to get exactly 50. Example C. y= 50x. x could be 1 which is still 50 and D. y=50-x and x could be 0 which is still 50 whiles A. y=50 remains 50

Graph the line y+3x=-3​
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:  y = -3x-3 (Choose values for x)

Step-by-step explanation:

1st change the equation to y = mx+b form

In order to change the equation to y = mx+b form subtract the 3x to both sides.
The equation now becomes y = -3x-3

2nd we can either choose values for x such has (-2,-1,0,1,2) and plug in those values into our equation y = -3x-3
For example, if we plug in x= -2 we get y= -3(-2)-3 which becomes y =3. We then plot the point (-2,3) because -2 is our x coordinate and 3 is our y coordinate.
Or we can plug the equation into a calculator that will graph the equation for you.
