There must be more students in the class, and most of the class must have scored lower then Paul and his friends. I could be wrong, but I hope this helps! :D
we have

If c is the independent variable
then
p is the dependent variable
so
clear variable p

Divide by
both sides

Adds
both sides


Write the equation in function notation

therefore
the answer is
the equation in function notation is equal to 
Answer:
x = 181 and y = 97
Step-by-step explanation:
let called the first number is x
the second number would be called y
We are given that:
x + y = 278 (1)
x = y + 84 (2)
Let change x in (2) into (1):
y + 84 + y = 278
2y + 84 = 278
Subtract 84 from both side, we got:
2y + 84 - 84 = 278 - 84
2y + 0 = 194
Divide both side by 2, we got:
2y / 2 = 194 / 2
y = 97
Because y = 97 and x + y = 278 so x would equal:
x + 97 = 278
Subtract 97 from both side, we got:
x + 97 - 97 = 278 - 97
x + 0 = 181
x = 181 and y = 97
Hope this helped :3
You can use the fractions 3/18 and 5/12.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Lets say test tubes = t, and beakers = b
1 pack of (t) is $4 less than 1 pack of (b)
Since i have no prior information we are going to use variables for this equation:
1t (1 pack of test tubes) is $4 less than 1b (1 set of beakers)
so to quantify the equation, we have 8t and 12b.
if b is a number that IS quantifiable such as $5 we can easily figure out this answer.
Lets use and example that 1 set of beakers is $8, if we multiply $8 by 12 (the number of sets of beakers), we get: 96
Using the same example, if 1t is $4 less than 1b than 1t = $4. So, if we multiply $4 by 8 (the amount of packs of test tubes), we get: 32
If you take both of those numbers: 96, and 32 and you divide them you get 3. so that means that 1t = 3b
Answer = 1t = 3b
This may not be correct due to the little information that i got however i hope that, that works out for you :)
