Answer:

133 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Total members = x

Number of boys = $\frac{2}{9}x$

Number of girls = $\frac{2}{9}x +95$

Number of boys + Number of girls = total members

$\frac{2}{9}x+\frac{2}{9}x+95=x\\\\\frac{2}{9}x+\frac{2}{9}x=x -95\\\\\frac{2}{9}x+\frac{2}{9}x-x=-95\\\\\frac{4}{9}x-x = -95\\\\\frac{4}{9}x-\frac{9}{9}x = -95\\\\\frac{-5}{9}x=-95\\\\x = -95*\frac{9}{-5}\\\\x=19*9$

x = 171

Number of boys = $\frac{2}{9}*171$ = 2 * 19 = 38

Number of girls = 38 + 95 = 133

Wet N' Dry camp provides water-based activities and ground sports activities for a

wolverine [178]

Answer:

x+y≤80; x≥8; y≥5
see attached for a graph
Twenty campers are doing water-based activities and 40 campers are doing ground-based activities.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let x and y represent the numbers of campers doing water- and ground-based activities, respectively.

x + y ≤ 80 . . . . . . a maximum of 80 campers can be accommodated

x ≥ 8 . . . . . . . . . . a minimum of 8 campers should be water-based

y ≥ 5 . . . . . . . . . . a minimum of 5 campers should be ground-based

2. See the attachment for a graph. Possible outcomes are shaded red. The boundary lines of the shaded area are included in the possible outcomes.

3. Twenty campers are doing water-based activities and 40 campers are doing ground-based activities.

Russ is solving an equation where both sides are linear expressions. he sets the expressions equal to y and graphs the system fi

Dafna1 [17]

The correct option (D).

There are infinitely many intersection points.

<h3>What is liner equation?</h3>

a two-variable equation that, when plotted on a graph, results in a straight line.

<h3>What does intersection point mean?</h3>

The term "point of intersection" refers to the intersection of two lines.

<h3>According to the given information:</h3>

Russ is attempting to solve an equation whose two sides are both linear expressions.

He graphs the system and finds that they are on the same line after setting the expressions to y.

Since both lines are the same, there are an endless number of junction places.

Russ should therefore consider the outcome to be option (D) There are a limitless number of intersections.

I understand that the question you are looking for is:

Russ is solving an equation where both sides are linear expressions. He sets the expressions equal to y and graphs the system finding that they are the same line. How should Russ interpret this outcome? There are no intersection points. There is exactly one intersection point. There are exactly two intersection points. There are infinitely many intersection points.Russ is solving an equation where both sides are linear expressions.
