The students at jefferson middle school are raising money for a charity by selling t-shirts and hats. the number of t-shirts sold was 3 times the number of hats. the profit was $5 for each t-shirt sold and $2.50 for each hat sold. the students raised $840 for the charity. they used the system below to analyze their success and found the solution to be (144, 48). 5x+2.50y=840 x=3y how much did they earn from t-shirt sales?

answer: (3,11) is your answer.

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

25.3

step-by-step explanation:

1st step

add 3+6

=9

multipy 9*3

=37

we are given scale of 2 units.

on graph paper the space is 2.5 cm.

length of glass = 8 units.

8 units = 2 units +2 units +2 units +2 units.

each 2 unit is = 2.5cm.

therefore,

8 units = 2 units +2 units +2 units +2 units = 2.5+2.5+2.5+2.5= 10cm.
