Answer:

8763

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of students the college had last year. Then this year's enrollment is ...

... x - 3%·x = 8500

... x(1 - 0.03) = 8500 . . . . . collect terms

... x = 8500/0.97 ≈ 8762.89 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

Enrollment last year was about 8763.

_____

Of course, you know 3% = 3/100 = 0.03.

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is $21.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Original price = $25

Discount = 20%

Taxes = 5%

Process

1.- Calculate the price with the discount

                     $25 ------------------- 100%

                        x   -------------------   20%

                        x = (20 x 25) / 100

                        x = 500 / 100

                        x = $5

Price after the discount = $25 - $5

                                       = $20

2.- Calculate the price after taxes

                     $20 ---------------------- 100%

                         x  -----------------------   5%

                       x = (5 x 20) / 100

                       x = 100 / 100

                       x = $1

Final price = $20 + $1

                = $21

Jalil and Victoria are each asked to solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x. Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x becaus
Iteru [2.4K]
<span>solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x:

1) Group the x terms together on the left:     ax - bx - c = d

2) Group the constant terms together:          ax - bx = c + d

3) factor out x:                                             x(a - b) = c + d

4) Divide both sides of the equation by (a - b) to obtain a formula for x:
                                                       c+d
</span>           x(a - b) = c + d   =>    x = ---------
                                                       a-b

This shows that the given equation CAN be solved for x, but there is a restriction:  a must NOT equal b, because if a-b = 0, we'd have division by zero (which is not defined).

Where is Victoria's solution?  Please share it if you want to discuss this problem further.  Thank you.
