Answer 9

im sorry..im kinda confused..cood u explain please?

Answer 10

well first these are the equations

SC = 250 + 4(x)
DM = 9(x)

Answer 11

yes..i got that far

Answer 12

huh? can u please explain?

Answer 13

ok so

250 + 4(x) = 9(x)

250 + 4x = 9x

250 = 9x - 4x

250 = 5x

50 = x

so to check we use the formula we got before

Sc = 250 + 4(x)
Dm = 9(x)

Sc = 250 + 4(50)
Sc = 250 + 200
Sc = 450

Dm = 9(50)
Dm = 450

so the answer would be anything above 50 students the science center will charge less

and just to check use 51 students in the equation

Sc = 250 + 4(51)
Sc =250 + 204
Sc = 454

Dm = 9(51)
Dm = 459

this shows after 50 students Science center will charge less
