Jose’s school has 426 students. His principal has promised the Student Council that their idea will be carried out if they can g

et at least 25% of the student population to sign a petition. So far, 82 students have signed the petition. Jose used the following steps to write an inequality that can be used to determine the number of student signatures still needed: Step 1. Declare the variable: Let x = the number of student signatures still needed. Step 2. Create a ratio equivalent to StartFraction total number of signatures needed over total number of students in the school EndFraction : StartFraction x + 82 over 426 EndFraction. Step 3. Convert 25% to a decimal: 25% = 0.25. Step 4. Write the inequality: StartFraction x + 82 over 426 EndFraction less-than-or-equal-to 0.25. What is Jose’s error? In Step 1, x should be equal to the total number of students in the school. In Step 2, the ratio should be StartFraction x over 426 EndFraction. In Step 3, the decimal should be 0.025. In Step 4, the inequality should be StartFraction x + 82 over 426 EndFraction greater-than-or-equal-to 0.25.

Answer:

Step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Jose's Steps are:

Step 1: Declare the variable:

Let x = the number of student signatures still needed.

Step 2: Create a ratio equivalent to:

\dfrac{\text{Total number of signatures needed}}{\text{Total number of students in the school}} =\dfrac{x + 82}{426}.

Step 3: Convert 25% to a decimal:

25% = 0.25.

Step 4: Write the inequality:

\dfrac{x + 82}{426}\leq 0.25

Since they need at least 25% of the student population to sign a petition, In Step 4, the inequality should be:

\dfrac{x + 82}{426}\geq 0.25

find the consecutive even integers such that three times the larger number is 30 more than the smaller one. help :')
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

12 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the even integers be x and x+2

three times the larger number is expressed as 3(x+2)

30 more than the smaller one is x + 30

Equating both expressions

3(x+2) = x +30

Find x

3x+6 = x+30

3x-x = 30-6

2x = 24

x = 12

The second integer is 12+2 = 14

Hence the required integers are 12 and 14

vivado [14]

Answer:

y - intercept = 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + c

Where,

y = Total cost

x = additional cost

m = slope

c = y - intercept

y = 0.25x + 2.25

Relating with the above equation,

y - intercept = 2.25

Slope, m = 0.25
