9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1. 7227
  2. 6649

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the enrollment the first year. Then x(1 -8%) = 0.92x represents the enrollment the second year. The total for the two years is ...

  x + 0.92x = 13,876

  x = 13,876/1.92 = 7227.083 ≈ 7227 . . . . students the first year

  13876 -7227 = 6649 . . . . students the second year

What is the answer to the equation 13=1/6y + 2x
Eddi Din [679]
13=1/6y+2x
-1/6y  -1/6y
-1/6y+13=2x
         -13 -13
-1/6y=2x-13
   *-6   *-6
y=-12x-13

*I multiply it by -6 because -6 is the reciprocal of -1/6, and I can't divide -1/6, actually I can, but it just going to be more confusing that way, and the fastest way to get rid of the -1/6 when you solving this type of equation is multiply it by its reciprocal.

NEED ASAP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Write a real world problem that can be represented by the following inequality, 15X - 20 ≤ 130 ,a
ddd [48]

Answer:

I used my name, lol

Step-by-step explanation:

Kat wants to use her money to support animals at a shelter after receiving her pay check from work . She pays $15 per animal, and leaves $20 for the workers. She can spend at most $130. How many animals can she help?

Solve for x

15x-20\leq 130

Add 20 to both sides to isolate x

15x-20+20\leq 130+20\\15x\leq 150

Divide each side by 15

\frac{15x}{15}\leq  \frac{150}{15} \\\\x\leq 10

Kat can help at most 10 animals.

(I am so sorry I took so long, I couldn't come up with anything.)

Which number has a 5 that represents a value ten times greater than the value represented by the 5 in 41,253 ?
Sergio039 [100]

Wouldn't the answer be any number which has the hundredths place as a 5? For example, 23,521.

As 50 x 10 = 500 and the 5 in 23,521 represents 500.
