Answer: There were 10 students in the class on the first day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of students of the first day.

Given: A college writing seminar increased its size by 50 percent from the first to the second day.

i.e. Number of students on second day = (Number of students on first day)+(50% of Number of students on first day)

= x +50% of x

= x+0.50x

= (1.50)x

=1.50x

Since, it is given that  the total number of students in the seminar on the second day was 15.

i.e. 1.50x=15

\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{15}{1.5}\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{150}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=10

Hence, there were 10 students in the class on the first day.

Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation is expressed in this form:

y = kx

1. y - 4x = 8

y = 4x + 8 is not a direct variation

2. y + 2 = 7x

y = 7x - 2 is not a direct variation

3. y - 3x = 0

y = 3x is a direct variation

4. y = 5x - 2

y = 5x - 2 is not direct variation

Y - y1 = m (x + x1)

Solve for m by subtracting the y's and dividing them by the difference of the 2 x's.

-32 - 1 = -33
-8 - 3 = -11

Divide the two to get 3.

Use the first point (as instructed) and plug it into the equation.

y - (-32) = 3 (x - (-8))

y + [32] = [3] (x + [5])

The brackets are the fill in the blanks.
