55% of 1800 = 0.55(1800) = 990...so there are 990 girls in the school
30% of 990 = 0.30(990) = 297...so there are 297 girls who take the bus
Use the formula m = y2 - y1
————
x2 - x1
(-1 is x1, 5 is y1) (3 is x2, 13 is y2)
13 - 5 8
——— = — = 2
3 - (-1) 4
2 is the slope
To solve these kinds of problems, it is necessary to isolate x:
9(2x + 1) <span>< 9x - 18
Distribute 9:
18x + 9 </span><span>< 9x - 18
Subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation:
18x + 9 - 9 </span><span>< 9x - 18 - 9
18x </span><span>< 9x - 27
Subtracting 9x from both sides of the equation:
18x - 9x </span><span>< 9x - 27 - 9x
9x </span><span>< -27
x </span><span>< -3
Therefore, values of x </span><span>< -3 will satisfy the given equation.</span>
