A small university enrolls in-state and out-of-state students. The number of students enrolled in their most recent freshman cla

ss was 560. The school reported that it enrolled ten in-state students for every four out-of-state students. How many in-state students are enrolled?

Answer: 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the school reported that it enrolled ten in-state students for every four out-of-state students. This can be expressed in the ratio 10:4.

Since the number of students enrolled in their most recent freshman class was 560, the number of in-state students that are enrolled will be:

= [10/(10+4)] × 560

= 10/14 × 560

= 400

There are 400 in state students enrolled

What values of k will make the line containing points (k,3) and (-2,1) parallel to the line through (5, K) and (1,0)

rjkz [21]

Answer:

k = -4 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For the lines to be parallel, the lines would need to be the same slope. This means to find the slope of each we would take the difference of the rise over the run.

$\frac{1-3}{-2-k}=\frac{-2}{-2-k}$

and

$\frac{0-k}{1-5}=\frac{-k}{-4}$

To find K, set them equal.

$\frac{-2}{-2-k} = \frac{-k}{-4}\\-k(-2-k) = -2*-4\\2k+k^2=8\\k^2+2k-8=0$

Factor the quadratic and solve for K.

$(k+4)(k-2)=0$

k+4=0 so k=-4

k-2=0 so k=2

Answer:

$x = 1.25$

$y = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$4x - 5y = 5$

$0.08x + 0.10y = 0.10$

Required

Determine the solution

Make x the subject of formula in: $4x - 5y = 5$

$4x = 5 + 5y$

Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{5 + 5y}{4}$

$x = \frac{5 + 5y}{4}$

Substitute $x = \frac{5 + 5y}{4}$ in $0.08x + 0.10y = 0.10$

$0.08(\frac{5 + 5y}{4}) + 0.10y = 0.10$

Solve the fraction

$0.02(5 + 5y) + 0.10y = 0.10$

Open the bracket

$0.1 + 0.1y + 0.10y = 0.10$

$0.1 + 0.2y = 0.10$

Subtract 0.1 from both sides

$0.1-0.1 + 0.2y = 0.10 - 0.1$

$0.2y = 0$

Divide both sides by 0.2

$y =0$

Substitute 0 for y in $x = \frac{5 + 5y}{4}$

$x = \frac{5 + 5*0}{4}$

$x = \frac{5 + 0}{4}$

$x = \frac{5 }{4}$

$x = 1.25$

wariber [46]

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x - 20 +21 > - 3 +4x - 32

-5x +1 > 4x - 35

-5x +4x > - 35 +5

-1x>-30

Divide by - 1

x >30
