Mustafa’s soccer team is planning a school dance as a fundraiser. the dj charges $200 and decorations cost $100. the team decides to charge each student $5.00 to attend the dance. if n represents the number of students attending the dance, which equation can be used to find the number of students needed to make $1,500 in profit? 5n – 300 = 1,500 5n + 300 = 1,500 5n – 200 + 100n = 1,500 5n – 100 – 200n = 1,500

DJ + decorations = 200+100 = 300

tickets are $5 each

 so 5n would be the total amount of money made then you need to subtract 300 ( cost of DJ and decorations )

 so answer is: 5n - 300 = 1500

if you want to solve:

5n -300 = 1533

add 300 to each side

5n = 1800

divide both sides by 5

1800/5 = 360 tickets need to be sold

The answer is: 5n - 300 = 1,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

5n - 300 = 1,500, would be the equation that should be used, because we have on the one hand 200 of the DJ, 100 of the decoration that would be $ 300, if we solve the equation it would be as follows: 5n = 1500 300; 5n = 1800; n = 1800/5 = 360 students, because to have earnings of $ 1500, you have to subtract from the 1800 the $ 300 that generate the expenses, and what would be left would be $ 1500 of final earnings.

The answer is: 5n - 300 = 1,500.

the final function for the graph becomes x-2=-1. before graphing you solve the equation, where x=1. then graph accordingly.   ( on the x-axis, 1 on the line will possess a vertical line.)
