The expression that would represent the total number of students at the summer camp for all three years is (b) 5.5s - 54
<h3>How to determine the expression?</h3>
Let the number of students in 2010 be s.
So, we have:
- Year 2011 = 1/2s i.e. half as many students in 2010
- Year 2012 = s - 54 i.e. 54 students less than 2010
The total number of students is:
Total = s + 1/2s + s - 54
Evaluate
Total = 9s/2 - 54
Rewrite s:
Total = 5.5s - 54
Hence, the expression that would represent the total number of students at the summer camp for all three years is (b) 5.5s - 54

Answer:
The biggest difference between deductive and inductive reasoning is that deductive reasoning starts with a statement or hypothesis and then tests to see if it's true through observation, where inductive reasoning starts with observations and moves backward towards generalizations and theories.
Answer:
rational
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + 1/4x = 2.....subtract 3 from both sides
1/4x = 2 - 3
1/4x = -1...multiply both sides by 4, eliminating the 4 on the left side
x = -1 * 4
x = -4
