Explanation:
If your actual answer is very far from your estimate, you probably made a mistake somewhere.

<em>Additional comment</em>
50 years ago, when a slide rule was the only available calculation tool, making an estimate of the result was a required part of doing the calculation. Not only were the first one or two significant digits needed, but also the power of 10 that multiplied them. Use of a slide rule required the order of magnitude be computed separately (by hand) from the significant digits of the result.

You may also find it useful to estimate the error in your estimate. That is, you may want to know the approximate answer to 2 (or more) significant digits in order to gain confidence that your calculation is correct.
Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate x to solve
-9=6+x
-6 -6
-15=x
A polynomial with no odd-degree terms will have a graph with even symmetry. The one here that qualifies is ...
c. 7x^4 +9x^2 -12
You would have to transform the fractions to decimals by dividing. For the first one, if you divide 4 by 5 you get .8. To transform a decimal to percent you move the decimal place 2 times to the right or multiply by 100 (They both would give you the same thing)
You will need to set up and solve 2 equations:
A) 3 Vans + 10 Buses = 379
B) 14Vans + 13 Buses = 624
Multiply equation A by -14
A) -42 Vans -140 Buses = -5,306 then Multiply equation B by 3
B) 42 Vans + 39 Buses = 1,872
Adding BOTH equations
-101 Buses = -3,434
Each Bus holds 34 Students
Putting this into equation A
A) 3 Vans + 10 Buses = 379
A) 3 Vans + 10 * 34 = 379
A) 3 Vans +340 = 379
A) 3 Vans = 39
Each van = 13 students
