Let the number of adults be x, then number of male students is 1 + 7x and the number of female students is (1 + 7x)/2.
x + 1 + 7x + (1 + 7x)/2 = 82
2x + 2 + 14x + 1 + 7x = 164
23x = 164 - 2 - 1 = 161
x = 161/23 = 7

Therefore, number of male students is 1 + 7(7) = 1 + 49 = 50
and the number of female students is 50/2 = 25.

Y + 4x < 8
y < -4x + 8
2 points that satisfy this are (0,8) and (2,0)....and those happen to be ur x and y intercepts (where the line crosses the x and y axis)

graph...so go ahead and plot ur x and y intercepts (0,8) and (2,0).....ur slope is - 4.....so start at ur y int (0,8) and go down 4 spaces, and to the right 1...plot that point, then go down 4 spaces and to the right 1, then plot that point...keep doing this and u will have ur line...u should have crossed the x axis at (0,2)......ur line will be a dashed line since the problem has no equal sign.... the shading will go below the line because it is less then.

y - 3 > = 1/2x
y > = 1/2x + 3
2 points that satisfy this are : (0,3) and (-6,0)...ur x and y intercepts

graph : plot ur intercepts (0,3) and (-6,0)....u have a slope of 1/2...so start at ur x intercept (-6,0) and go up 1 space, and to the right 2 spaces, plot that point...then go up 1 and to the right 2, plot that point...keep doing this and u will cross the y axis at (0,3)....this line will be a solid line....the shading will go above the line.
