Answer:

780 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of students be "x"

We know 35% of these students take the bus, which is 273 students

So, the problem basically becomes:

35% of x is 273

We need to convert this word equation to algebraic equation. Remember,

"of" means "multiplication"

and

"is" means "equals to"

So, we can write:

35% * x = 273

To solve this for x, first we need to convert percentage to decimal by dividing by 100, so we have:

35% = 35/100 = 0.35

Now, we have:

0.35*x = 273\\0.35x=273

We solve for x:

0.35x=273\\x=\frac{273}{0.35}\\x=780

The total number of students at Jones High School = 780

4 (3x+9)-3(5y+7) =11

distribute

12x +36 -15y -21 =11

12x -15y +15 =11

subtract 15 from each side

12x -15y =-4

subtract 12x from each side

-15y= - 12x-4

divide by -15

y = -12/-15 x -4/-15

y = 4/5 x  + 4/15

slope = 4/5

y intercept = 4/15

The lengths of two sides of a right triangle are 12 inches and 15 inches. What is the difference between the two possible length
Lena [83]
In the problem, two legs measurement were given such as:
Leg 1 = 12 inches
Leg 2 = 15 inches

We need to solve for the third leg. Since it is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean theorem in solving the missing leg:
c²=b²+a²

When we assume that the third leg is the "c", we can for the value such as:
c² = 12²+15²
c=19.21

When we assume that the third is either "a" or "b":
15² =a² + 12²
a=9

Then, the possible measurement of the third leg is 9 or 19.21.
The difference between the two possible answer is shown below:
Difference = 19.21 -9 = 10.21
Difference =10.21
