The dance committee of Pine Bluff Middle School earns $72 from a bake sale and will earn $4 for each ticket they sell to the Spring Fling dance.

The dance will cost $400.

Let x number of tickets the committee could sell.

Total money earned is 72 + 4 × x.

The committee should have some left over money also after spending for the dance which costs $400.

Thus the inequality to determine the number of tickets the committee could sell to have money left over after they pay for this year's dance is given by,

72 + 4 × x $\geq$ 400.

Step-by-step explanation:

In trapezoid ABCD, it is given that:

AE = BE & DF = CF

Hence, points E and F are the mid points of the sides AB and CD respectively.

We know that:

In a trapezoid length of the line segment joining the mid points of non parallel sides is equal to one half of the sum of lengths of the parallel sides.

$\therefore \: 4x = \frac{1}{2} \{(x + 5) + 44 \} \\ \\ \therefore \: 4x = \frac{1}{2} \{x + 5 + 44 \} \\ \\ \therefore \: 4x \times 2= \{x + 49\} \\ \\ \therefore \: 8x = x + 49 \\ \\ \therefore \: 8x - x = 49 \\ \\ \therefore \: 8x - x = 49 \\ \\ \therefore \:7x = 49 \\ \\ \therefore \:x = \frac{49}{7} \\ \\ \therefore \:x = 7\\ \\ \therefore \:4x = 4\times 7.. (\because EF = 4x)\\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \:EF = 28}}$
