Answer:

1036 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students at West High be "w" and the number of students at East High be "e"

West High population is 250 FEWER than TWICE of East High, we can write:

w = 2e - 250

Total students in both schools is 2858, so we can write 2nd equation as:

e + w = 2858

We can replace 1st equation in 2nd to get an equation in e, and find "e":

e + w = 2858

e + (2e - 250) = 2858

3e - 250 = 2858

3e = 2858 + 250

3e = 3108

e = 3108/3

e = 1036

Hence,

number of students attending East High School = 1036 students

Please help i need help geometry is very hard for me i am dumb

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

G. ABD = 74

H. DBC = 206

I. XYW = 33.75

J. WYZ = 46.25

Step-by-step explanation:

For G and H: You have a straight line (ABC) with another line coming off of it, creating two angles (ABD and DBC). A straight line has an angle of 180 degrees. This means that the two angles from the straight line when combined will give you 180 degrees. Solve for x.

ABD + DBC = ABC

(1/2x + 20) + (2x - 10) = 180

1/2x + 20 + 2x - 10 = 180

5/2x + 10 = 180

5/2x = 170

x = 108

Now that you have x, you can solve for each angle.

ABD = 1/2x + 20

ABD = 1/2(108) + 20

ABD = 54 + 20

ABD = 74

DBC = 2x - 10

DBC = 2(108) - 10

DBC = 216 - 10

DBC = 206

For I and J: For these problems, you use the same concept as before. You have a right angle (XYZ) that has within it two other angles (XYW and WYZ). A right angle has 90 degrees. Combine the two unknown angles and set it equal to the right angle. Solve for x.

XYW + WYZ = XYZ

(1 1/4x - 10) + (3/4x + 20) = 90

1 1/4x - 10 + 3/4x + 20 = 90

2x + 20 = 90

2x = 70

x = 35

Plug x into the angle values and solve.

XYW = 1 1/4x - 10

XYW = 1 1/4(35) - 10

XYW = 43.75 - 10

XYW = 33.75

WYZ = 3/4x + 20

WYZ = 3/4(35) + 20

WYZ = 26.25 + 20

WYZ = 46.25

1/4 to 1/2 find the percent of change-increase or decrease

Vika [28.1K]

The percent of change would be -33.3% which would then equal a 33.3% decrease (when decimal is rounded)

what I did was turn 1/4 and 1/2 into decimals to make it easier to solve

Find the function value, if possible. (If an answer is undefined, enter UNDEFINED.)

ddd [48]

Answer:

f(x + 2) = 3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply replace wherever you find x in the function f(x) with (x + 2), like so:

f(x + 2) = 3(x + 2) - 4

f(x + 2) = 3x + 6 - 4

f(x + 2) = 3x + 2

What two rational expressions sum to 2x+3/x^2-5x+4

Anni [7]

Answer:

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{-5}{3(x- 1)} + \frac{11}{3(x - 4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rational expression: $\frac{2x + 3}{x^2 - 5x + 4}$ , to express this in simplified form, we would need to apply the concept of partial fraction.

Step 1: factorise the denominator

$x^2 - 5x + 4$

$x^2 - 4x - x + 4$

$(x^2 - 4x) - (x + 4)$

$x(x - 4) - 1(x - 4)$

$(x- 1)(x - 4)$

Thus, we now have: $\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)}$

Step 2: Apply the concept of Partial Fraction

Let,

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)}$ = $\frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}$

Multiply both sides by (x - 1)(x - 4)

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} * (x - 1)(x - 4)$ = $(\frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}) * (x - 1)(x - 4)$

$2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)$

Step 3:

Substituting x = 4 in $2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)$

$2(4) + 3 = A(4 - 4) + B(4 - 1)$

$8 + 3 = A(0) + B(3)$

$11 = 3B$

$\frac{11}{3} = B$

$B = \frac{11}{3}$

Substituting x = 1 in $2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)$

$2(1) + 3 = A(1 - 4) + B(1 - 1)$

$2 + 3 = A(-3) + B(0)$

$5 = -3A$

$\frac{5}{-3} = \frac{-3A}{-3}$

$A = -\frac{5}{3}$

Step 4: Plug in the values of A and B into the original equation in step 2

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}$

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{-5}{3(x- 1)} + \frac{11}{3(x - 4)}$
