Answer:
4 students were missing
Step-by-step explanation:
A teacher reserved 6 sheets of colored paper for each of her 28
students do a job. As some students were missing, the teacher gave 7
sheets for each student present. How many students were missing?
6*28=168
This problem is an example of solving equations with variables on both sides. To solve, we must first set up an equation for both the red balloon and the blue balloon.
Since the red balloon rises at 2.6 meters per second, we can represent this part of the equation as 2.6s. The balloon is already 7.3 meters off of the ground, so we just add the 7.3 to the 2.6s:
2.6s + 7.3
Since the blue balloon rises at 1.5 meters per second, we can represent this part of the equation as 1.5s. The balloon is already 12.4 meters off of the ground, so we just add the 12.4 to the 1.5:
1.5s + 12.4
To determine when both balloons are at the same height, we set the two equations equal to each other:
2.6s + 7.3 = 1.5s + 12.4
Then, we solve for s. First, the variables must be on the same side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 1.5s from both sides of the equation:
1.1s + 7.3 = 12.4
Next, we must get s by itself. We work towards this by subtracting 7.3 from both sides of the equation:
1.1s = 5.1
Last, we divide both sides by 1.1. So s = 4.63.
This means that it will take 4.63 seconds for both balloons to reach the same height. If we want to know what height that is, we simply plug the 4.63 back into each equation:
2.6s + 7.3
= 2.6 (4.63) + 7.3
= 19.33
1.5s + 12.4
= 1.5 (4.63) + 12.4
= 19.33
After 4.63 seconds, the balloons will have reached the same height: 19.33 meters.
Answer: 0.01 x 10 = .1
it moved ten spaces up or in simpler terms the decimal move one space to the right because the number is getting bigger.

Step-by-step explanation:
The subcommittee needs to contain 1 out of 3 freshmen, 1 out of 4 sophomores, 1 out of 5 juniors and 1 out of 2 seniors. Assuming order is not important, the number of possibilities to pick the subcommittee members is given by:
There are 120 possible subcommittees.
