Question

A small town has two local high schools. High School A currently has 500 students and is projected to grow by 80 students each year. High School B currently has 700 students and is projected to grow by 30 students each year. Let AA represent the number of students in High School A in tt years, and let BB represent the number of students in High School B after tt years. Write an equation for each situation, in terms of t,t, and determine how many students would be in each high school in the year they are projected to have the same number of students.

Answer 1

Answer:

A=80t+500 B=30t+700

820 Students

Step-by-step explanation:

80t+500=30t+700

-30t -30t

50t+500=700

-500 -500

50t=200

/50 /50

T=4

A=80(4)+500=820

B=30(4)+700=820
