Hello! So to solve this question, we can write and solve a proportion. We write the proportion as change/original = x/100, where change is the distance between two number and the original is the previous number. Percents are parts of 100, so x is a percentage out of 100%. 1,435 - 1,220 is 215. Now, set it up like this.

215/1,435 = x/100

Cross multiply the values to get 21,500 = 1,435x. Divide each side by 1,435 to isolate the "x". 21,500/1,435 is 14.9825783972 or 15 when rounded to the nearest whole number. The percent change in the number of 8th graders is about 15%.

Match the missing term with the perfect square trinomial 9X^2+?+25<br> 49<br> 6x<br> 36<br> 30x
Igoryamba
9x^2+t+25=(ax+b)^2

9x^2+t+25=a^2*x^2+2abx+b^2 so

a^2=9 so a=3

b^2=25 so b=5 then

t=2ab using a and b from above

t=2*3*5=30

So the missing term is 30x
