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! :)

Khloe made 20% of her free throws over the season. If she shot 240 free throws, how many did she make?
Butoxors [25]
20% is the same as saying 0.2, so if you multiply 0.2 by 240, you should get your answer. Or an alternate way of seeing it is 2 times 24.

What is the slope intercept form when m = 1/2 &amp; b = 89 ?<br> Helppppppppp
Zina [86]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2}x + 89

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form: y  = mx + b

y = (x , y)

x = (x , y)

m = slope = 1/2

b = y-intercept = 89

Plug in the corresponding numbers & variables to the corresponding variables:

y = (1/2)x + 89

y = \frac{1}{2}x + 89  is your answer.

I need help asap. I don’t know how to do this
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

  10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to work this problem, and they give different answers. The reason for that is that <em>the data shown in the diagram is not consistent</em>.

<u>Method 1</u>

Use the area to determine the base length. The area formula is ...

  A = (1/2)bh

  20 in^2 = (1/2)(b)(4 in)

  (20 in^2)/(2 in) = b = 10 in

The missing side dimension is 10 inches.

__

<u>Method 2</u>

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the parts of the base, then add them up.

Left of the "?" we have ...

  left^2 +4^ = 6^

  left^2 = 36 -16 = 20

  left = √20 = 2√5

Right of the "?" we have ...

  right^2 +4^2 = 8^2

  right^2 = 64 -16 = 48

  right = √48 = 4√3

So, the base length is ...

  base = left + right = 2√5 +4√3

  base ≈ 11.400 in

The missing side dimension is 11.4 inches. (The area is 22.8 in^2.)
