If we have a number represented by n, we have 20 is equal to, so 20=something. That something is "5 less than twice a number". 5 less than something means something-5, and something-5=20. Since 5 is less than twice a number, and twice a number is n+n=2n, we have 2n-5=20
Actually solving the problem, we can start by adding 5 to both sides, resulting in 2n=25. Next, we can divide both sides by 2 to get n=12.5

In 2002, there were 972 students enrolled at Oakview High School. Since then, the number of students has increased by 1.5% each

Answer:

$N(t) = 972(1.015)^{t}$

Growth function.

The number of students enrolled in 2014 is 1162.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of students in the school in t years after 2002 can be modeled by the following function:

$N(t) = N(0)(1+r)^{t}$

In which N(0) is the number of students in 2002 and r is the rate of change.

If 1+r>1, the function is a growth function.

If 1-r<1, the function is a decay function.

In 2002, there were 972 students enrolled at Oakview High School.

This means that $N(0) = 972$

Since then, the number of students has increased by 1.5% each year.

Increase, so r is positive. This means that $r = 0.015$

Then

$N(t) = N(0)(1+r)^{t}$

$N(t) = 972(1+0.015)^{t}$

$N(t) = 972(1.015)^{t}$

Growth function.

Find the number of students enrolled in 2014.

2014 is 2014-2002 = 12 years after 2002, so this is N(12).

$N(t) = 972(1.015)^{t}$

$N(12) = 972(1.015)^{12}$

$N(12) = 1162$

The number of students enrolled in 2014 is 1162.
