1.)
Old Number:35
New Number:45
Now, subract the new number(45) from the old number. (35)
45-35 is 10. Now divide the old number (35) by 10.
You'll get 3.5. 3.5%, increase is the answer for #1.
2.) Old: s (students)
New: 36,750
Do 100+5 (Addition because we do not know what the old number is.) 100+5 is 105. Move decimal over twice and you get 1.05. Multiply 36,750 by 1.05.
There were 38,587.5 kids last year.
3.)Since the discount is 15% off, do 100-15=85. Now, move the decimal over from the percent, and that makes that .85. Now multiply 50x.85. You get 42.5, or $42.50. Now the coupon is 10%, So subtract 100-10, giving you 90. Now move the decimal over. .90. Multiply 42.5 (or 42.50) by .90. You get 38.25. You do have enough money.
4.) Subtract 100-15, giving you 85. Move decimal over from percent. .85.
Now you would multiply .85 times k. B should be the answer.
Commenter jdoe said it right: solve for y and leave the rest on the other side.
-x + 3y = 6
3y = 6 + x add x on both sides
3y = x + 6 rearrange to get the x first
y = (x + 6) /3 divide both sides by 3
y = x/3 + 6/3 split the numerator (caution - never split denominators)
y = x/3 + 2 simplify 6/3
Thus the line in slope intercept form of y = mx + b is y = 
48 units! This may be wrong but hoped it helped!
