ANSWER:

n = 1.05n divided by 105 times 100

OR

n = (the number of students at the END of the school year) divided by 105 times 100

WORKING OUT:

1.05n = 651 students
1n = 651/105 times 100 = ANSWER

Remark

There is no short way to do this problem and no obvious way to get the answer other that to solve each part.

Solve

$\dfrac{x + 1.6}{2} =\text{x + 0.1}$ Multiply by 2

x + 1.6 = 2(x + 0.1) Remove the brackets

x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.1*2

x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.2 Subtract x from both sides

1.6 = x + 0.2 Subtract 0.2 from both sides

1.6 - 0.2 = x

1.4 = x

Circle A

Subtract 2x from both sides.

3x - 2x = 1.4

Circle B

Remove the brackets.

4x + 6 = 2x - 6 Add 6 to both sides

4x + 12 = 2x Subtract 4x from both sides.

12 = -2x Divide by - 2

12/-2 = x

x = - 6 Don't circle C

I'm going to be very scant in my solution of this. You can fill in the steps.

3x = 4.2

x = 4.2/3

x = 1.4

Circle D

David, Egil and Frances share money in the ratio 2:7:9. Frances gets ?80 more than David. Explain how you know Egil gets ?80.

Natalija [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that David, Egil and Frances share money in the ratio 2:7:9.

Let 2x, 7x and 9x be the amounts of money that David, Agil and Frances get respectively.

We are told that Frances gets $80 more than David. So we can write this information in an equation as:

$9x=2x+80$

Now let us solve for x.

$9x-2x=80$

$7x=80$

$x=\frac{80}{7}$

Now let us substitute $x=\frac{80}{7}$ in 7x (amount of money that Egil gets).

$\text{ Amount of money that Egil will get}=7\cdot \frac{80}{7}$

Upon cancelling out 7 from numerator and denominator we will get,

$\text{ Amount of money that Egil will get}=80$

Therefore, Egil will get $80.

If sv=38, su=26, and the perimeter of SUV is 102, what is the value of RU?

Finger [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let SUV be a triangle

Perimeter of SUV = SU+SV + UV

102 = 38 + 26 + UV

102 = 64 + UV

UV = 102 - 64

UV = 38

Hence the length of UV is 38
