the industrialization of the northeast made it possible for women to work in factories.
Before the panama canal people from East coast of America who wanted to go to Asia had to either sail around south America which took months or sail towards Asia and go around Africa which took even longer. The panama canal was a short cut right in the middle of central America which cut navigation time in half. Hope I helped. :)
Answer:
20 members of the rappelling club are going on the trip
Explanation:
Total cost of the trip is $540.
If only one person goes, the cost is $540.
We can make the total number of people going x since we are not given.
Therefore, each member would pay (540/x)
We can also rep 7 with non members since the number is given as 7
Total people going= Members + non members.
Therefore, the cost per person is now (540/x+7).
Problem.
540/x -540/x +7 = 7
Multiply each with lowest common denominator.
When you expand, you get
540(x+7) - x(540)/x(x+7) =7
Simplify multiplication.
540x+3780-540x=7(x^2+7x)
Combine like terms
540x-540x+3780=7x^2+49x
3780=7x^2+49x
7x^2+49x-3780= 0
When we divide through by 7, we have
x^2+7x-540
Factorize, we have
(x^2+27x)-(20x-540)=0
x(x+27)-20(x+27)=0
(x-20)(x+27)=0
x is therefore 20 or -27
Since we know -27 cannot be a reasonable answer hence must be excluded.
The exact number of the people going on the trip is 20.
