Answer:
8763
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of students the college had last year. Then this year's enrollment is ...
... x - 3%·x = 8500
... x(1 - 0.03) = 8500 . . . . . collect terms
... x = 8500/0.97 ≈ 8762.89 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Enrollment last year was about 8763.

Answer:
Speed of river's current = 5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'd' be the distance covered
Let x be the speed of the rivers current
Speed upstream = 15-x
speed downstream = 15+x
Time = distance / speed
time upstream = 
time downstream = 
the ferry trip upstream takes twice as long as its return trip downstream
= 
divide both sides by d
= 
cross multiply


Add 2x on both sideds

subtract 15 from both sides and divide by 3

x=5
Speed of river's current = 5 mph
