There will be 1.078x students next year and equation is number of students in next year = x + 7.8% of x

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given, There are "x" number of students at helms.  

The number of students increases by 7.8% each year which means if there "x" number of students in present year, then the number of students in next year will be x + 7.8% of x

Number of students in next year = number of students in present year + increased number of students.

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Number of students in next year }=x+7.8 \% \text { of } x} \\\\ {\text { Number of students in next year }=x\left(1+\frac{7.8}{100}\right)} \\\\ {\text { Number of students in next year }=x(1+0.078)=1.078 x}\end{array}

Thus there will be 1.078x students in next year

If x – 10 is a factor of x2 – 8x – 20, what is the other factor?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The other factor is (x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

(x-a)(x-b)=x^{2}-xb-xa+ab

(x-a)(x-b)=x^{2}-(a+b)x+ab

In this problem we have

x^{2} -8x-20

and

a=10 -----> because is a factor

substitute and solve for b

x^{2} -8x-20=x^{2}-(10+b)x+10b

so

8=10+b\\b=-2

Verify in the second equation

-20=10b -----> -20=10(-2) -----> -20=-20--> is ok

The other factor is (x+2)
