Answer:
12,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of people that were enrolled last year.
We have been given that enrollment at ELAC decreased by 5%, or 600 people, the year. We are asked to find the number of people that were enrolled last year.
We can set as equation such that 5% of x equals 600.
Therefore, 12,000 people were enrolled last year.
First, we need to add 2/6 and 2/5.
2/6 can be simplified to 1/3
We need to have 1/3 and 2/5 have the same denominator. 3 and 5's LCM (least common multiply) is 15.
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5. This equals 5/15.
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 3. This equals 6/15.
5/15 plus 6/15 is 11/15. This means that Jack's 6000 dollars is 4/15.
Let's say that x is the total amount invested by all three.
6000/x would equal 4/15.
Solve this by multiply 6000 by 15 and 4 by x and making these two equal each other.
90000 would equal 4x. Divide both sides by 4 to get x.
90000 divided by 4 would be 22500.
4/15 is the fraction by Jack
22500 is the total amount invested by all 3
Multiply both sides by d.
dm=a+64d
Flip the equation.
a+64d=dm
Add -64d to both sides.
a=dm−64d
Answer:
<u>a=dm−64d</u>
