Answer:

$5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students be x, then

<u>Initial amount per student was:</u>

  • 100/x

<u>After it becomes:</u>

  • 100/(x - 5)

<u>Since amount increased after, it can be shown as:</u>

  • 100/x + 1 = 100/(x - 5)

<u>Multiply each term by x(x - 5) to get rid of the fraction:</u>

  • 100(x-5) + x(x - 5) = 100x
  • 100x - 500 + x² - 5x - 100x = 0
  • x² - 5x - 500 = 0

<u>Positive solution of this quadratic equation is </u>

  • x = 25

<u>Amount each person paid after:</u>

  • $100 / (25 - 5) = $5

Please help me with this math problem!

W=x
L=2x+17

Double everything since we need to lengths and two widths to find the perimeter

2x+17+2x+17+x+x = 76
Combine like terms

6x+34=76
Solve for x
First step is subtract 34 from both sides

6x=42
Next you divide both sides by 6 in order to get x by itself

X=7

Now you plug in 7 into the x’s in length and width

W=7 cm
L=31 cm

THE WIDTH IS 31 CM

Check:

7+7+31+31 = 76 cm
It equals 76 cm just like the problem said so therefore it is right.

Answer: Choice A

Raising something to the 1/4th power is the same as applying the 4th root to that expression. Raising an expression to the 1/n power is the same as applying the nth root.

Rule:
x^{1/n} = \sqrt[n]{x}
(if the text is too small it basically says x to the (1/n) = square root with a small 'n' all over x)
