Answer:
-88
Step-by-step explanation:
Let N(x) be the number of students at NMS for a certain number of years.
Let S(x) be the number of students at SMS for a certain number of years.
Let x be the number of years.
N(x)=1240-25x
S(x)=800-30x
When # of students is equal, N(x)=S(x). Therefore, we are looking for the value of x (# of years) when 1240-25x=800-30x
Subtract 1240 from each side
-25x=-440-30x
Add 30x
5x=-400
x=-88 years

The easiest way for me to do this is too set their heights to actual numbers. Say Wanda is 100 feet tall (which I know isn’t a thing, but 100 is always an easy number for percentages.) If will is 34% taller than 100 feet, 1% is 1 foot, so Will is 134 feet tall. 134 / 100 is 134%, so will’s height is 134% of Wanda/s height. Hope this helps!
If you multiply 7 by .75 you get 5.25
rectangle = area = 5.25
then multiply 2.5 by itself and you get 6.25
square area = 6.25
So the 2 1/2 inch square has more room
