Answer: 1400 students


Explanation:

Total = 4000


Senior = 1/8 x 4000 = 500

Senior not in favor of debate = ( 1 - 1/5) x 500 = 400


Non senior = 4000 - 500 = 3500

Non-senior not in favor of debate = (1 - 5/7) x 3500 = 1000


Total = 400 + 1000 = 1400

Solve the equation.<br> 5x + 12 = -13
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Simplifying

5x + 12 = -13

Reorder the terms:

12 + 5x = -13

Solving

12 + 5x = -13

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.

12 + -12 + 5x = -13 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0

0 + 5x = -13 + -12

5x = -13 + -12

Combine like terms: -13 + -12 = -25

5x = -25

Divide each side by '5'.

x = -5

Simplifying

x = -5

Answer:

b = 0.7

b = 5.6/8
