Hello! I can help you with this! Do -75/5 to get -15. -15 will be your middle number. So for consecutive integers, -13 + -14 + -15 + -16 + -17 = 75. Those are five consecutive integers that have a sum of 75. The lowest of 5 integers is -17, because it’s the smallest of them all and the furthest to the left of the number line. A line further to the left of the number line means it’s smaller. Therefore, the rest of the five integers is -17.
The equation for the table is y=2x+3.
Answer:
- x + y ≤ 600
- 5x +7y ≥ 3500
- it is possible
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We can write two inequalities, one for the number of tickets, and one for the necessary revenue.
x + y ≤ 600 . . . . . . . limit imposed by available seating
5x +7y ≥ 3500 . . . . required revenue to meet expenses
__
b) For x = 330, the first inequality puts one limit on y:
330 +y ≤ 600
y ≤ 270
And the second inequality puts another limit on y:
5(330) +7y ≥ 3500
7y ≥ 1850 . . . . subtract 1650
y ≥ 264.3 . . . . divide by 7
The number of tickets that must be sold to meet expenses is 265, which is less than the number that can be sold, 270. It is possible to meet expenses.
