if the original value of x was negative then X the opposite sign version of X would have to be positive Princeton's if I start with x equals -3 then x equals -3 equals + 3 which is positive
The total cost is $17,955.
Let x be the total amount of his tuition. He paid for 44% of it, or 0.44, with his scholarship. This leaves 100%-44% = 56% = 0.56 of it to be taken care of with loans. We know he took out 10054.52 in loans:
0.56x = 10054.52
Divide both sides by 0.56:
0.56x/0.56 = 10054.52/0.56
x = 17954.50 ≈ 17955
1. I chose Volleyball, which has only 2 kids. Football has 9 kids. So to find how many more kids prefer Football over Volleyball we subtract the two.
9-2= 7
2. The least popular sport is Volleyball, which again is 2.
And soccer has 7 kids who prefer Soccer over any other sport.
So it’s the same process, 7-2= 5
X^2 + 7x + 2 that’s your answer
