3y+7x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
3y+2x+5x-4+
=3y+7x+3
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
When we write expressions for the total cost of each field visit and set them equal, we find the solution to be the ratio of the difference in fixed cost to the difference in variable cost.
y = 75 +7x . . . . . cost for x students to visit the science center
y = 50 +8x . . . . cost for x students to visit the natural history museum
__
Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...
0 = -25 +x
25 = x . . . . . add 25; the number of students such that costs are equal
The cost will be the same either place for 25 students.
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
Here, the fixed cost difference is 75-50=25, and the variable cost difference is 8-7=1. The ratio of these costs is ...
$25/($1 /student) = 25 students.
This relationship only holds when the higher fixed cost is associated with the lower variable cost. Charges are such that one place caters to larger numbers of students (science center), and one prefers fewer students (natural history museum).
A negative number divided by positive is a negative quotient and vice versa.
So
5.7 / -2.2
-0.01 / 0.05
Are the ones with negative quotients
Y=4 on the first one
A=92 on the second one
