Answer: it is x=5/7 or x=-5/7
Earnings: $2900
Expenditure on food: $290
Percentage expenditure on food = Expenditure on food / Earnings times 100
= $290/$2900 * 100 = 10%
Answer:
There were 84 students in 6th grade, 68 in 7th grade, and 90 in 8th grade.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Elk middle school has 264 students, and there are 84 students in the eighth grade, and there are 22 fewer seventh-grade students than sixth-grade students, to determine how many students there are in each grade, the following calculation must be performed:
(264 - 84) / 2) - 22 = X
(180/2) - 22 = X
90 - 22 = X
68 = X
6th grade = 84
7th grade = 68
8th grade = 90
Therefore, there were 84 students in 6th grade, 68 in 7th grade, and 90 in 8th grade.
3x^2 + 2x - 6 if x = -2
=3(-2)^2 + 2(-2) - 6
=12 - 4 - 6
= 2
5x^2 + 6x - 2 if x = -2
=5(-2)^2 + 6(-2) - 2
=20 - 12 - 2
= 6
-2x^3 + 2x^2 if x = 2
= -2(2)^3 + 2(2)^2
= -16 + 8
= -8
