For every adult, there must be at least one student.
let x be student, let y be adult

y = 2x

y + x = 240
5x + 10y = maximum amount.

plug in 2x for y

2x + x = 240

3x = 240

3x/3 = 240/3

x = 240/3

x = 80

There are 80 students, and 160 adults.

160 adults = $1600
80 students = $400

This will generate a total of $2000 dollars

160 adults, 80 students should be your answer

hope this helps

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.<br> (-10,- 6) and (-3,7)

Marina CMI [18]

Step-by-step explanation:

in essence, these 2 points are the Hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle. the legs are the coordinate differences between the 2 points creating the 3rd point of that triangle at (-10, 7) : the x coordinate of one point, and the y coordinate of the other.

now, we are looking for the midpoint. this midpoint cuts the original line/hypotenuse in half creating a scaling factor of 1/2.

when we create now a similar triangle based on that "half- Hypotenuse", we need to use the same scaling factor also on the legs (the coordinate differences).

so, when we cut the coordinate differences also in half, we get the coordinates for the midpoint on the main line.

xm, ym are the coordinates of the midpoint.

xm = (x1 + x2)/2 = (-10-3)/2 = -13/2 = -6.5

ym = (y1 + y2)/2 = (-6+7)/2 = 1/2 = 0.5

so, the midpoint is (-6.5, 0.5)
