I call this a "sum and difference problem" because we are given the total of two values and the difference between them. As you can see here, the larger of the two values is the average of the given numbers, their sum divided by 2. This is the generic solution to such a problem: the larger number is the average of the given sum and difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u />

Since n represents the number of words there are, we can plug in 20 for n into the equation to get:

C = 15*20 + 75 pounds

C = 300 + 75 pounds

C = 375 pounds

Since C represents the cost of the advert, we can plug in 195 for C into the equation to get:

195 = 15n + 75

Subtract 75 from both sides:

120 = 15n

Divide both sides by 15:

n = 8 words

Step-by-step explanation:

An unconditional acceptance into a graduate program at a university will be given to students whose GMAT score plus 100 times the undergraduate grade point average is at least 1075

Considering the GMAT score x, and the GPA y, this situation is modeled by the following inequality:

$x + 100y \geq 1075$
