Answer:

20 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If the class decreased by 15%, the students that she has now (17) represents a percentaje of:

100% - 15% = 85%

so<u> the 17 students are 85% of what she had</u>:

Students         Percentage

      17          ⇒        85%

and we are looking for how many students she had 2 years ago, thus we are looking for the <u>100%</u> of students (the original number of studens). If we represent this number by x:

Students         Percentage

      17          ⇒        85%

      x          ⇒        100%

and we solve this problem using the <u>rule of three</u>: multiply the cross quantities on the table( 17 and 100) and then divide by the remaining amount (85):

x = 17*100/85

x = 1700/85

x=20

2 years ago she had 20 students

Answer:

C. 8x - 3y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

7 - 3(x - y) = 5x + 2

Standard form: Ax + By = C

7 -3x + 3y = 5x + 2

7 -8x + 3y = 2

-8x + 3y = -5

Divide by -1 to each number

8x - 3y = 5
