After your assignment is completed you will present both your project as well as your wiki page to the class to show how your communication affected your group.

For now what I need you to post are the equations for your project. Show me both the equations before and after you solve for y.

The admissions office at Big State University needs to decide how many in-state students to admit and how many out-of state students to admit to the next class. Like many universities, Big State U has limited resources, and budget considerations have to play a part in admission policy. Here are the constraints on the Admissions Office decision.
 * Big State U**

· The college president wants this class to contribute a total of at least $2,500,000 to the school after it graduates. In the past, Big State U has gotten an average of $8000 in contributions from each in-state student and an average of $2000 from each out-of-state student. · The faculty at the college wants entering students with good grade-point averages. Grades of in-state students average less than grades of out-of-state students. Therefore, the faculty is urging the school to admit at least as many out-of-state students as in-state students. · The housing office is not able to spend more than $85,000 to cover costs such as meals and utilities for students in dormitories during vacation periods. Because out-of-state students are more likely to stay on campus during vacation periods, the housing office needs to take these differences into account. In-state students will cost an average of $100 each for vacation-time expenses, while out-of-state students will cost an average of $200 each. The college treasurer needs to minimize educational costs. Because students take different courses, it costs an average of $7200 a year to teach an in-state student and an average of $6000 a year to teach an out-of-state student.

Your job is to recommend how many students from each category should be admitted to Big Sate U. You need to minimize educational costs, as the treasurer requires, within the constraints set up by the college president, the faculty, and the housing office.
