A)
Let x represent the cost of 1 student, and y the cost of 1 teacher.

B)
In the first group, there's 25 students and 2 teachers. Their total cost is $97.50
So 25x + 2y = 97.50
In the second group, there's 32 students and 3 teachers. Their total cost is $127
So 32x + 3y = 127

We get the following system of equations:
25x + 2y = 97.50 (1)
32x + 3y = 127 (2)

C)
25x + 2y = 97.50 (1)
32x + 3y = 127 (2)

In equation (1)
25x + 2y = 97.50
25x + 2y - 2y = 97.50 - 2y
25x = 97.50 - 2y
25x / 25 = 97.50/25 - 2y/25
x = 3.9 - (2/25)y

In equation (2), let's replace x by its algebraic value
32x + 3y = 127
32(-2/25y + 3.9) + 3y = 127
11/25y + 124.8 = 127
11/25y + 124.8 - 124.8 = 127 - 124.8
11/25y = 2.2
(11/25y) / (11/25) = 2.2 / (11/25)
y = 5

x = -2/25y + 3.9
x = -2/25 * 5 + 3.9
x = 3.5

So the cost of each student is $3.5, and the cost of each teacher is $5.

Hope this helps! :)

Area of the shaded region = Area <span>of a square - Area of a circle
</span>
Side of a square = 2r
Area of a square = (2r)² = 4r²

Area of a circle = πr²

Area of the shaded region = 4r² - πr² = <span>r²(4-π)</span>

Write the standard form of the line that contains a slope of -1/2 and y-intercept of 1. Include your work in your final answer.
NemiM [27]
The slope intercept form would be y= -1/2x + 1 and to get it into standard form all you have to do is move the -1/2 x to the other side, making it 1/2x + y = 1
