Answer:

There are 1240 students at Washington middle school.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages and Portions

We can find portions of a whole by correctly managing the percentages of each part. We know 25% of all students at Washington middle school were on the honor roll. From that portion, 60% of the students are seventh graders. That means 40% of the 25% are eight graders, i.e. 40*25%=10% were from eight grade.

We have 10% of all students are 124, thus the number of students are 124/10%=1240

There are 1240 students at Washington middle school.  

Let's test the answer. 25% of 1240 students are on the honor roll, which is 310 students. 40% of 310 students are from 8th grade, 40%*310 = 124 as stated in the problem

This 1 seems really complicated

The solution to this system set is:  "x = 4" , "y = 0" ;  or write as:  [4, 0] .
________________________________________________________
Given: 
________________________________________________________
 y = - 4x + 16 ; 

 4y − x + 4 = 0 ;
________________________________________________________
"Solve the system using substitution" .
________________________________________________________
First, let us simplify the second equation given, to get rid of the "0" ; 

→  4y − x + 4 = 0 ; 

Subtract "4" from each side of the equation ; 

→  4y − x + 4 − 4 = 0 − 4 ;

→  4y − x = -4 ;
________________________________________________________
So, we can now rewrite the two (2) equations in the given system:
________________________________________________________
   
y = - 4x + 16 ;   ===> Refer to this as "Equation 1" ; 

4y − x =  -4 ;     ===> Refer to this as "Equation 2" ; 
________________________________________________________
Solve for "x" and "y" ;  using "substitution" :
________________________________________________________
We are given, as "Equation 1" ;

→  " y = - 4x + 16 " ;
_______________________________________________________
→  Plug in this value for [all of] the value[s] for "y" into {"Equation 2"} ;

       to solve for "x" ;   as follows:
_______________________________________________________
Note:  "Equation 2" :

     →  " 4y − x =  - 4 " ; 
_________________________________________________
Substitute the value for "y" {i.e., the value provided for "y";  in "Equation 1}" ;
for into the this [rewritten version of] "Equation 2" ;
→ and "rewrite the equation" ;

→   as follows:  
_________________________________________________

→   " 4 (-4x + 16) − x = -4 " ;
_________________________________________________
Note the "distributive property" of multiplication :
_________________________________________________

   a(b + c)  = ab + ac ;   AND: 

   a(b − c) = ab <span>− ac .
_________________________________________________
As such:

We have:  
</span>
→   " 4 (-4x + 16) − x = - 4 " ;
_________________________________________________
AND:

→    "4 (-4x + 16) "  =  (4* -4x) + (4 *16)  =  " -16x + 64 " ;
_________________________________________________
Now, we can write the entire equation:

→  " -16x + 64 − x = - 4 " ; 

Note:  " - 16x − x =  -16x − 1x = -17x " ; 

→  " -17x + 64 = - 4 " ;   Solve for "x" ; 

Subtract "64" from EACH SIDE of the equation:

→  " -17x + 64 − 64 = - 4 − 64 " ;   

to get:  

→  " -17x = -68 " ;

Divide EACH side of the equation by "-17" ; 
   to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; 

→  -17x / -17 = -68/ -17 ; 

to get:  

→  x = 4  ;
______________________________________
Now, Plug this value for "x" ; into "{Equation 1"} ; 

which is:  " y = -4x + 16" ; to solve for "y".
______________________________________

→  y = -4(4) + 16 ; 

        = -16 + 16 ; 

→ y = 0 .
_________________________________________________________
The solution to this system set is:  "x = 4" , "y = 0" ;  or write as:  [4, 0] .
_________________________________________________________
Now, let us check our answers—as directed in this very question itself ; 
_________________________________________________________
→  Given the TWO (2) originally given equations in the system of equation; as they were originally rewitten; 

→  Let us check;  

→  For EACH of these 2 (TWO) equations;  do these two equations hold true {i.e. do EACH SIDE of these equations have equal values on each side} ; when we "plug in" our obtained values of "4" (for "x") ; and "0" for "y" ??? ; 

→ Consider the first equation given in our problem, as originally written in the system of equations:

→  " y = - 4x + 16 " ;    

→ Substitute:  "4" for "x" and "0" for "y" ;  When done, are both sides equal?

→  "0 = ?  -4(4) + 16 " ?? ;   →  "0 = ? -16 + 16 ?? " ;  →  Yes!  ;

 {Actually, that is how we obtained our value for "y" initially.}.

→ Now, let us check the other equation given—as originally written in this very question:

→  " 4y − x + 4 = ?? 0 ??? " ;

→ Let us "plug in" our obtained values into the equation;

 {that is:  "4" for the "x-value" ; & "0" for the "y-value" ;  

→  to see if the "other side of the equation" {i.e., the "right-hand side"} holds true {i.e., in the case of this very equation—is equal to "0".}.

→    " 4(0)  −  4 + 4 = ? 0 ?? " ;

      →  " 0  −  4  + 4 = ? 0 ?? " ;

      →  " - 4  + 4 = ? 0 ?? " ;  Yes!
_____________________________________________________
→  As such, from "checking [our] answer (obtained values)" , we can be reasonably certain that our answer [obtained values] :
_____________________________________________________
→   "x = 4" and "y = 0" ;  or; write as:  [0, 4]  ;  are correct.

Hope this lenghty explanation is of help!  Best wishes!

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The median is -8°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached Table.

The median is the "middle" value from all the numbers arranged from least to greatest.

Looking at the table, we need to arrange the numbers (first week numbers) from least to greatest.

-31, -29, -9, -8, 3, 4, 6

There are 7 numbers and the middle number is the 4th one, which is -8

The median is -8°F

Find the angle x in this triangle
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

x = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>A triangle has 180°</em>.

That <em>third angle is 360 - 8x</em>.

So the equation is: <em>180 = 2x + x + 360 - 8x</em>.

Simplify: 180 = -5x + 360

Add/Subtract: 5x = 180

Divide: x = 36.
