A)
Let x represent the cost of 1 student, and y the cost of 1 teacher.
B)
In the first group, there's 25 students and 2 teachers. Their total cost is $97.50
So 25x + 2y = 97.50
In the second group, there's 32 students and 3 teachers. Their total cost is $127
So 32x + 3y = 127
We get the following system of equations:
25x + 2y = 97.50 (1)
32x + 3y = 127 (2)
C)
25x + 2y = 97.50 (1)
32x + 3y = 127 (2)
In equation (1)
25x + 2y = 97.50
25x + 2y - 2y = 97.50 - 2y
25x = 97.50 - 2y
25x / 25 = 97.50/25 - 2y/25
x = 3.9 - (2/25)y
In equation (2), let's replace x by its algebraic value
32x + 3y = 127
32(-2/25y + 3.9) + 3y = 127
11/25y + 124.8 = 127
11/25y + 124.8 - 124.8 = 127 - 124.8
11/25y = 2.2
(11/25y) / (11/25) = 2.2 / (11/25)
y = 5
x = -2/25y + 3.9
x = -2/25 * 5 + 3.9
x = 3.5
So the cost of each student is $3.5, and the cost of each teacher is $5.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:11 black horses : 75 white horses
Step-by-step explanation:
we know thw white horses and how many there are but we dont know how many black ones so u take the number of white horses and subtart it from the total and get the number of black horses
Step-by-step explanation:
you collect like terms from both sides that is, the variables on one side and the constants on the other side
Use a variable to represent the number of hours the technician will work, plus the $50.
50+25x
This would be the expression used to find the amount of money the technician needs.
