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:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x + 1) + 8 = 24
Subtract 8 from each side
4(x + 1) + 8-8 = 24-8
4(x + 1) = 16
Divide by 4
4(x+1)/4 = 16/4
x+1 = 4
Subtract 1
x+1-1 = 4-1
x=3
Answer:
a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide . if both its dimensions are increased 4 m , its area is increaed by 88 m squared make a sketch and find its original dimensions of the original rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l = the original length of the original rectangle
Let w = the original width of the original rectangle
From the description of the problem, we can construct the following two equations
l=2*w (Equation #1)
(l+4)*(w+4)=l*w+88 (Equation #2)
Substitute equation #1 into equation #2
(2w+4)*(w+4)=(2w*w)+88
2w^2+4w+8w+16=2w^2+88
collect like terms on the same side of the equation
2w^2+2w^2 +12w+16-88=0
4w^2+12w-72=0
Since 4 is afactor of each term, divide both sides of the equation by 4
w^2+3w-18=0
The quadratic equation can be factored into (w+6)*(w-3)=0
Therefore w=-6 or w=3
w=-6 can be rejected because the length of a rectangle can't be negative so
w=3 and from equation #1 l=2*w=2*3=6
I hope that this helps. The difficult part of the problem probably was to construct equation #1 and to factor the equation after performing all of the arithmetic operations.

Answer:
x= 8.4
Step-by-step explanation:
y=0.8
4x + 8y =40
4x + ( 8 x 0.8) = 40
4x + (6.4) =40
4x = 40 - 6.4
4x = 33.6
x = 8.4
