Question

The local high school is hosting the last soccer game. They charged adults, x, $5 to enter, and $3 for students, y. It costs the school $300 to pay the referees for the game. The school wants to make profit on the game, and 75 people attended. This is represented by the system:
5x +3y > 300
x+y = 75
which of the following points is a solution to the system?
(30,45)
(40,35)
(20,15)
(25,70)

Answer 1

Answer:

(40,35)

Step-by-step explanation:

Well we can immediacy eliminate 2 options for ow becuase if you add them up they don’t equal 75 and in the equation it asked for x+y=75.

Now we just test out each x and y possibility

We know 5x+3 > 300

So lets try the first one

30 is x

45 is Y

5*30=150

45*3=135

Now if you add them

285

285 is not greater than 300 so thats wrong

SO B is correct

But lets check just in case

5*40=200

3*35= 105

305 IS greater than 300

305 > 300

SO B is correct

The point (40,35)
