Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the "number."
"twice the difference of a number and 16" can be written as:
2(x-16)
"is the same as three times a number less than 18" can be written as:
= 3(x<18)
I wonder if this was meant to say "is the same as three times a number less 18," instead of "less than 18." If so, we would have:
=3(x-18)
1. Using the sentence as written: 2(x-16) = 3(x<18)
2. Using the sentence as amended: 2(x-16) = =3(x-18)
Going with this interpretation:
2(x-16) = 3(x-18)
2x - 32 = 3x - 54
x = 22
Answer:
Any ordered pairs which have a slope of 5/4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The line has a slope of -4/5 which means the y values have a difference of -4 and the x values have a difference of 5. If the line is perpendicular to this line then its slope must be the negative reciprocal which is 5/4. Any points which have a difference in y values of 5 and a difference of x values of 4 will be on some line perpendicular to the original.
Answer:
To find out the number coming from each school, you need to use the proportion of the school's population out of the population of all three.
Total population = 618 + 378 + 204
= 1,200 students
North Middle school:
= 618/1,200 * 20
= 10 students
Central Middle School:
= 378 / 1,200 * 20
= 6 students
South Middle School:
= 204/1,200 * 20
= 4 students
