The the number of students attending West High School can be expressed in terms of x as:
2x - 250
The total number of students in the two schools is x + 2x - 250
As the total is 2858, we have
x + 2x - 250 = 2858
Solving for x, we have
3x - 250 = 2858
3x = 3108
x = 1036
So the number of students attending East High School is 1036.
The number of students attending West High School can be found by substituting x = 1036 into 2x - 250. 
2x - 250 = 2*1036 - 250 = 1822
Hope it helps!!!

There are less than 200 apples in a box. It is known that 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 kids can share these apples evenly. How many apples c
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

<u>There can be 180 apples in that box.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to answer the question correctly:

Number of apples in a box < 200

2. It is known that 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 kids can share these apples evenly. How many apples can be in that box?

The answer is that the number of apples that can be in the box is the highest multiple of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 that is close to 200.

The common multiples for this set of numbers are 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 and so on with 60 as the constant.

Therefore, the highest number that is multiple for this set of numbers and at the same time lower than 200 is 180.

<u>There can be 180 apples in that box.</u>
