Answer:
First of all, he have to find out what 0.5% of the students is.
Second of all, find out what 0.5 of 100 is. 100 divided by 0.5 is 200.
Third of all, divide 200 from 639. This equals 3.195
Since it is asking about how many, I would go with about 3. After all, you can't have have half of a person, so the decimals shouldn't be added.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: B. 77
Sub x =6 into the given expression
4x^2 - 12x + 5
= 4(6)^2 - 12(6) + 5
= 144 - 72 + 5
= 77
Well, let's first solve each equation:
1.) -4x + 6 - 3x = 12 - 2x - 3x
To start, combine each like-term on each side of the equal sign (The numbers with variables in-common // the numbers alike on the same side of the equal sign):
-7x + 6 = 12 - 5x
Now, we get the two terms with variables attached to them, on the same side, so, we do the opposite of subtraction, which is, addition:
-7x + 6 = 12 - 5x
+5x +5x
_____________
-2x + 6 = 12
Next, you do the opposite of addition, which is, subtraction, and, subtract 6 from both sides:
-2x + 6 = 12
-6 -6
____________
-2x = 6
Finally, divide by -2 on each side, to find out what the value of 'x' is:
-2x = 6
÷-2 ÷-2
________
x = -3
So, the answer is not 'A.'
_________________________________________
Now, we test out the rest of the equations, the exact same way:
2.) 4x + 6 + 3x = 12 + 2x + 3x
Combine your like-terms, on each side of the equal sign:
7x + 6 = 12 + 5x
Now, get both terms, with the variable, 'x,' to the same side, and, to do that, do the opposite of addition, which is, subtraction:
7x + 6 = 12 + 5x
-5x -5x
______________
2x + 6 = 12
Next, subtract 6 from both sides:
2x + 6 = 12
-6 -6
__________
2x = 6
Finally, divide by 2, on both sides:
2x = 6
÷2 ÷2
__________
x = 3
So, the answer is 'B.'
_________________________________________
3.) 4x + 6 - 3x = 12 - 2x - 3x
Again, we combine the like-terms, on both sides of the equal sign:
x + 6 = 12 - 5x
Now, we get both terms with the variable 'x,' to the same side, and, the opposite of subtraction, is addition, so, we're going to add 5x to both sides:
x + 6 = 12 - 5x
+ 5x + 5x
______________
6x + 6 = 12
Now, we subtract 6 from each side, because, the opposite of addition, is subtraction:
6x + 6 = 12
- 6 - 6
_____________
6x = 6
Now, divide by 6, on both sides:
6x = 6
÷ 6 ÷ 6
_____________
x = 1
So, the answer is not 'C.'
_________________________________________
4.) 4x + 6 - 3x = 12x + 2x + 3x
First, we combine the like-terms:
x + 6 = 17x
Next, we get both terms, with the variable, 'x,' to the same side:
x + 6 = 17x
-x -x
_____________
6 = 16x
Now, divide by 16, on both sides:
X = 3/8
So, 'D,' is not the answer.
_______________________
The answer is, 'B.'
I hope this helps!
