1. I feel the need to explain things first before I write the numeric value.
Let x be the total number of students in the school. 25% of this value is given to be 35.
(0.25)x = 35
The value of x is 140. 75% of this value is the answer which is equal to 105.
2. Let y be the alternative schools. With this, the number of charter schools is 2x - 6 which is equal to 52
2x - 6 = 52
The value of x is 29. Therefore, there are 29 charter schools.
Answer:
117
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the number of stamps Derek had at first. After he gave 1/9 of his stamps to Ahmad, Ahmad had (d -104) +(d/9). Derek had 4 times this number after giving away d/9 stamps:
(d -d/9) = 4((d -104) +d/9)
(8/9)d = 4d -416 +(4/9)d
416 = (32/9)d . . . . add 416 -8/9d
117 = d . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 9/32
Derek had 117 stamps at first.

<em>Check</em>
1/9 of Derek's collection is 13 stamps. 104 less than Derek's collection is 13 stamps.
So, Ahmad started with 13 stamps and was given 13 stamps by Derek. Meanwhile, Derek started with 117 stamps and gave away 13, so ended with 104 stamps. That number (104) is 4 times Ahmad's new number (26), as it should be.
Answer:
y = 5x/7 + 10/-7
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 5x from both side and you should get -7y = -5x + 10
divide negative 7 into both side -7/-7 = -5x/-7 + 10/-7
and the answer is y = 5x/7 + 10/-7
