Answer:

They  are taking 12 2 credit courses

The are taking 4  1 credit courses

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1 credit courses

y = 2 credit courses

The number of courses is 16

x+y = 16

The number of credits is 28 so multiply the course by the number of credits

1x+2y=28

Subtract the first equation from the second equation

x+2y =28

-x-y=-16

-----------------

y = 12

They  are taking 12 2 credit courses

We still need to find the 1 credit courses

x+y = 16

x+12= 16

Subtract 12 from each side

x-12-12 = 16-12

x =4

The are taking 4  1 credit courses

A student raises her grade average from a 75 to a 90. what was the percent of increase in the student's grade average? round you
Leona [35]
Here are some formulas...
percent increase = (new number - original number) / original number...* 100
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original number...* 100
============
a student raises her grade from a 75 to a 90....since it is going from a smaller number to a larger number, u have an increase
percent increase = (90 - 75) / 70....* 100
                           =   15/70   * 100
                           = 0.2142 * 100
                           = 21.42 rounds to 21.4%  increase
-------------------------
36.50 on sale for 32.12...since it goes from a larger number to a smaller number, u have a decrease
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original * 100
                             = (36.50 - 32.12) / 32.12...* 100
                             = 4.38 / 32.12...* 100
                             = 0.1363...* 100
                             = 13.63 rounds to 13.6% decrease
------------------------------
23.5 to 21.2......this is a decrease
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original...* 100
                            = (23.5 - 21.2) / 23.5....* 100
                            = 2.3 / 23.5....* 100
                            = 0.0979 * 100
                            = 9.79 rounds to 9.8% decrease

Solve for C a = b + c/d<br> a. c=ad-b<br> b. c= a+b/d<br> c. c=ad/b<br> d. c= ab+d
maksim [4K]

                                                         <u>a = b + c/d</u>

Subtract  'b'  from each side:      a - b  =  c/d

Multiply each side by  'd' :      <em>d (a - b) = c
