Answer:
The number of cases prior to the increase is 50.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the number of measles cases increased by 13.6% and the number of cases after increase is 57.
We need to find the number of cases prior to the increase.
Let x be the number of cases prior to the increase.
x + 13.6% of x = 57



Divide both the sides by 1.136.



Therefore the number of cases prior to the increase is 50.
For this you would do

Because 60% is the same as 0.60. And solving a problem like this is the opposite of finding a percent of a number. When you solve this you get 80. So there are 80 students in total.
Answer: f(-3) = 278, f(-4) = 232
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 4x³ - 6x² - 144x + 8
f(-3) = 4(-3)³ - 6(-3)² - 144(-3) + 8
f(-3) = 4(-27) - 6(9) - 144(-3) + 8
f(-3) = 278
f(-4) = 4(-4)³ - 6(-4)² - 144(-4) + 8
f(-4) = 4(-64) - 6(16) - 144(-4) + 8
f(-4) = 232
All you have to do is combine 3x and 5x to = 8x. You can't combine 8x and 67y because they have different variables. so it's 8x+67y.
