This bisector created a 90 degree angle
The answer: - 2.3 ≥ b ; which does not correspond with any of the answer choices; but most closely corresponds with: "Answer choice: [B]: b > -2.3 ."
_____________
Explanation:
_________________
Assuming we have:
_______________________
2.7 is greater than <u><em>or</em></u> equal to "(b + 5)";
_______________________________
We would write:
_________________
→ 2.7 ≥ b + 5 ;
_________________
→ Subtract "5" from EACH side:
_________________
→ 2.7 − 5 ≥ b + 5 − 5
→ - 2.3 ≥ b ; which does not correspond with any of the answer choices; but most closely corresponds with: "Answer choice: [B]: b > -2.3 ."

Answer:
She should have cross multiplied.
Step-by-step explanation:
-2.125, or 17/8, is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
the change in cost of 145-135.50 = 9.50 for an increase of students from 25 to 30. The ratio of change of cost to change of students = 9.50/5 = 1.9 and becomes the slope coefficient "m" in the formula y= mx + b. y = the total cost, mx becomes the variable cost and b becomes the fixed cost. To find b, use the data point given where the total cost = $135.50 when the students = 25, or 135.50 = 1.9*25 +b. Solving for b yields $ 88. Note that the other data point is where the total cost is $145 for students = 30. Using the new total cost equation shows that 30*1.9+88= 145
The answer to the problem is x=2
