Answer: There are 20 students and 4 students are not here today.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of students = 4

Let the number of students be 'x'.

Fraction of students absent = \dfrac{x}{4}

If the number of students = 5

Fraction of students absent = \dfrac{x}{5}

And Jen came back,

So, the fraction of student absent is also written as

\dfrac{x}{4}-1

According to question, it becomes,

\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{x}{4}-1\\\\\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{x-4}{4}\\\\4x=5(x-4)\\\\4x=5x-20\\\\4x-5x=-20\\\\-x=-20\\\\x=20

Hence, there are 20 students in our school.

And number of students are not here today is \dfrac{20}{5}=4

Two airplanes, which start 3{,}3003,3003, comma, 300 miles apart, fly toward each other. The two planes fly at a constant speed,
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

distance=rate*time

2520=(r)(3)+(r+90)(3)    (they both travel for 3 hours)

2520=3r+3r+270

2520-270=6r

2250=6r

r=2250/6

r=375 mph

r+90=375+90=465 mph

What product is positive ?​
s344n2d4d5 [400]
<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

The long way to do this is to multiply all the fractions out by hand, or use a calculator to make shorter work of this.

The shortest way is to simply count how many negative signs each expression has.

The rule is: if there are an even number of negative signs, then the product will be positive. Otherwise, the product is negative.

For choice A, we have 3 negative signs. The result (whatever number it is) is negative. Choice B is a similar story. Choice C is also negative because we have 1 negative sign. Choices A through C have an odd number of negative signs.

Only choice D has an even number of negative signs. The two negatives multiply to cancel to a positive. The negative is like undoing the positive. So two negatives just undo each other. This is why the multiplied version of choice D will be some positive number.

Or you can think of it as opposites. If you are looking up (positive direction) and say "do the opposite" then you must look down (negative direction). Then if you say "do the opposite", then you must look back up in the positive direction.

Refer to the image that I attached to my answer.

According to the graphing calculator, the two equations have two points of intersections (the points where the different colored lines cross).
