Answer:
We need to know how many students are in sixth grade and compare the real number with the 84 sixth graders that Jasmine claims to be.
Step-by-step explanation:
We would need to know how many students are in sixth grade to determine who is right. If two students out of seven have an overdue library book and grace claims that 24 of them are overdue by that means, what we would need to do is divide the allegedly 24 students between 2. Now we have 12 pairs of students that have overdue books. For every pair of students in sixth grade that have overdue books, seven students don’t have overdue books, so now we multiply 12 pairs of students with overdue books times 7 students who don’t have overdue books. By Jasmine calculation then, sixth grade have 84 students.
If sixth grade have indeed 84 students, Jasmine is right. If there are not 84 students in sixth grade, she is wrong. Grace is right if there are fewer students than 84 in sixth grade.
Have a nice day! :D
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
to get x alone you divide the 2 away on both sides, getting x = 8. To check multiply 8 by 2 and you get 16.

Answer:
a) 50,000 + 2x > 70,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Lobo has an annual salary of $50000 per year plus 4% commission on her sales.
If she makes $y commission from sales, Mrs Lobo total income per year is:
$50000 + $y.
She makes 4% commission on her sales of share with the average price of a share = $50
Average commission from sales = 4% × $50 = 0.04 × 50 = $2
If she sales x shares in a year, her commission would be $2x for the year. Therefore her total income for that year would be:
50000 + 2x
The amount of shares Mrs Lobbo must sell to make an annual income of at
least $70,000 is given by the inequality:
50,000 + 2x > 70,000
Try this option (it is not the only way):
the points (0;0) and (2;2) belong to the curve. Using the coordinates of these points it is possible to calculate the equation.
