Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the equation by 4

5x - 2 + 2 = 2*(3y + 2)
5x +0 = 2*3y + 2*2
5x = 6y + 4
5x - 6y = 4 --------------------(I)

Multiply the equation by 6

2*(7y + 3) = 3x + 2*7
14y + 6 = 3x + 14
14y = 3x + 14 - 6
14y = 3x + 8
-3x + 14y = 8 ------------------------(II)
Multiply equation (I) by 3 and equation (II) by 5 and then add
(I)*3 15x - 18y = 12
(II)*5 <u>-15x + 70y = 40</u> {Now add}
52y = 52
y = 52/52
y = 1
Substitute y =1 in equation (I)
5x - 6*1 = 4
5x - 6 = 4
5x = 4 +6
5x = 10
x = 10/5
x = 2
It should be the first answer choice between those two
Answer:
4951 students
Step-by-step explanation:
If there was 99 students from each state, that would make the total to be:
99 * 50 = 4950
We can use the pigeon hole principle to make this the minimum number required.
The pigeon hole principle basically tells us that if you have more "pigeons" than "holes" then there must be one hole with multiple objects in it.
So, using this idea, we see that:
we need at least 1 more to ensure this
So, min number required would be
4950 + 1 = 4951
No one is going to be a great way to start a
