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

Please help! 50 POINTS!!!

Answer:

f(x) = 2/3 x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the y intercept ( where it crosses the y axis)  is 3


We can calculate the slope from 2 points (-3,1) and (0,3)

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

         = (3-1)/(0--3)

          = (3-1)/(0+3)

          = (2/3)

The slope is 2/3


Since we know the slope and the y intercept, we can use the slope intercept form

y= mx+b

y = 2/3 x+3

f(x) = 2/3 x +3

Could I get some help in here​

Answer:

  98 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways you can think about this one. Perhaps easiest is to treat it as a square with a triangle cut out of it. The cutout triangle has a base (across the top) of 14 ft and a height of 14 ft, so its area is ...

  A = (1/2)(14 ft)(14 ft) = 98 ft²

Of course the area of the square from which it is cut is ...

  A = (14 ft)² = 196 ft²

So, the net area of the two triangles shown is ...

  A = (196 ft²) - (98 ft²) = 98 ft²

_____

Another way to work this problem is to attack it directly. Let the base of the left triangle be x. Then the base of the right triangle is 14-x, and their total area is ...

  A = A1 + A2 = (1/2)(x ft)(14 ft) + (1/2)((14-x) ft)(14 ft)

We can factor out 7 ft to get ...

  A = (7 ft)(x ft + (14 -x) ft)

  A = (7 ft)(14 ft) = 98 ft²

( a+b) ( m^2 + n^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

factorise like terms

m^2 ( a + b ) + n^2 ( m^2 + n^2)

then put like terms together put remaining terms in a bracket

( a + b) ( m^2 + n^2 )
