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

Productive use of machinery on a farm made it possible to decrease the number of tractors by 12. How many tractors does the farm
frez [133]
1. the answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer. 

2. once again, create an equation. let's call team 1 x and team 2 y. team one has 1/4th as many as team 2, so that would be x=1/4y. An easier way to write that is 4x=y. after 6 people quit team two, that would be y-6. after the transfer, that would be y-6-12, and x+12 for the teams. they are equal after these, so y-6-12=x+12. solve this equation to get y-18= x+12. if you recall earlier, y was 4 times x, so substitute that into y to get 4x-18=x+12. Solve the equation to get 10 people on team one originally. your final answer is 10 people.

Vanyuwa [196]
State tax is computed by first subtracting the amount of exemptions (5*$1000=$5000) from annual income and then multiplying it by the state tax.

($18150-$5000)*5%= $657.50
