Answer:
527 students
Step-by-step explanation:
you convert the percent by moving the decimal point two places to the left making it 0.62 then you multiply it by 850 which gets you 527.
aka
850 x 0.62 = 527
The answer by actual multiplication gives out x^2-5x+6=0
Answer:
Y= -3x + 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Y= -3x + 11 (-3x is your slope and 11 is your y intercept)
We are given that the shorter piece is x
From your description, the longer piece is 2x + 2
The total length is
x + 2x + 2 = 14
ie
3x + 2 = 14
3x = 12
x = 4
So the length of the shorter piece is 4 ft
Therefore the length of the longer piece must be
(14 - 4) ft = 10 ft
