Answer:

boys = 705

girls = 783

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the number of boys and girls in the school

the answer can be determined using simultaneous equation

x = boys

y = girls

y - x = 78  equation 1

y + x  = 1488 equation 2

subtract equation 1 from 2

2x = 1410

x = 1410/2 = 705

Substitute for x in equation 1

y - 705 = 78

y = 705 + 78 = 783

PLEASE HELP 60 POINTS!!!!!!Sal’s Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials.
Zanzabum

2x + 3y = 1,470

To solve using the slope intercept method, we need to solve for y.

First, subtract 2x from each side.

3y = -2x +1470

The, we need to divide both sides of the equation by by 3 to solve for y

y = -2/3 x + 490.


We know the y intercept is 470, which means on the y axis we place at point at positive 490.  The slope is -2/3.  We go down 2 units and over to the right 3 units and place a point.  We draw a line connecting these two points extending only to the right until it reaches the x axis. We cannot have negative x because we cannot sell negative lunch specials.  We cannot have negative y, because y is the number of specials sold.
