If 75% liked skating, then 25% did not
so 25% of what is 35
0.25x = 35
x = 35/0.25
x = 140...so there is a total of 140 students
75% of 140 =
0.75(140) = 105...so 105 students liked skating
By convention, the first term of a sequence starts with n = 1 instead of n = 0. This is so n = 1 matches with 1st, n = 2 matches with 2nd, and so on.
In contrast, the y intercept always occurs when x = 0. So something like y = 3x+5 has a y intercept of 5 when you plug in x = 0.
An arithmetic sequence like f(n) = 2n+7 has its first term when n = 1. So the first term would be f(1) = 2(1)+7 = 9 instead of 7 as Hank claims.
1: distribute the 1/8 to (8x+15). multiply 8 times 1/8 and 15 times 1/8. 1x+1.875.
2: Subtract 1.875 from both sides. x=22.125. which is equal to 177/8.
