Answer:

465

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of girls at the festival be--------- g

Let the number of boys at the festival be---------b

The conditions are;

2/7 g = 3/5 b ---------------(i)

g-b= 165 ---------------------(ii)---------make g the subject of the expression

g= 165 +b---------------------(iii)--------use this equation in (i)

2/7 (165 +b)= 3/5 b -------multiply both sides by 7

7*2/7(165+b) =3/5*7 b

2(165+b)=21/5 b ------multiply both sides by 5

5*2(165+b) = 21/5*5*b

10(165+b) = 21 b -------open brackets

1650 +10 b = 21 b------collect like terms

1650 = 21 b- 10 b

1650 = 11 b -----divide both sides by 11

1650/11 = 11b/11

150 = b = number of boys

Using equation (ii) where g-b =165 ; g-150 =165 , g= 165+150 =315 number of girls

Total number of children at the festival = 150+315 =465

6x+3y=-3 how to graph it need answers quick

maw [93]

Answer:

Equation in slope intercept form: y = -2x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must convert this equation from standard form to slope intercept form (y=mx+b).

Subtract 6x on both sides to get 3y = -6x - 3. Then divide by 3 on both sides to get y = -2x - 1.

Now to graph:

First we will plot the y-intercept, which will be (0,-1). The point will be on the y-axis, since that's the point in which the line will cross.

Next we will go down 2 units and over to the right 1 unit, until we get to the next point.

A company that teaches self-improvement seminars is holding one of its seminars in Middletown. The company pays a flat fee of $1

Nutka1998 [239]

Answers:

To reach the breakeven point, how many attendees will that take? 117

What will be the company's total expenses and revenues? $1755 for each

=============================================================

Explanation:

x = number of attendees

C(x) = cost function for the company

C(x) = 14x+117

This is because the company pays $14 per person, so x of them accounts for 14x dollars. Then we add on the flat fee of $117 to get 14x+117 dollars overall.

In contrast, the revenue is

R(x) = 15x

because each attendee brings in $15 for the company

The breakeven point is when the cost and revenue are the same. This produces a profit of $0.

R(x) = C(x)

15x = 14x+117

15x-14x = 117

x = 117

If 117 people attend the seminar, then the company breaks even.

To check this, we'll compute the cost and revenue

C(x) = 14x+117

C(117) = 14*117+117

C(117) = 1755

R(x) = 15x

R(117) = 15*117

R(117) = 1755

The cost and revenue is $1755 for each. Because we get the same value, this confirms the correct x value.

Since 117 people is the breakeven point, the company should aim for an attendee count above this, so they can get a positive profit. At some point, there is a max capacity so x can't go up forever.
