Answer: Around 1000 students would buy a schoo lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in one class, 14 students bring lunch from home, and 20 buy lunch in the school. This will be our sample.

In total we have 20 + 14 = 34 students, this will be our 100%.

The percentage of students that bring lunch from home can be estimated as the quotient between the number of students that bring lunch from home and the total number of students, times 100%.

p1 = (14/34)*100% = 41.18%

And the percentage of students that buy lunch at school can be computed in the same way:

p2= (20/34)*100% = 58.82%

Then, out of the 1700 students in middle school, we can estimate that around 58.82% of them will buy lunch in the school.

Then the exact number will be:

N = (58.82%/100%)*1700 = 1000

Around 1000 students would buy a schoo lunch.

Write a two column proof
Annette [7]

4y=2x-10 and y=6

use the second expression to calculate the left-hand side of the first equation:

4\cdot 6 = 2x -10\\24 = 2x -10

Add 10 to both sides if this equation to get

34 = 2x

and divide both sides by 2

17 = x

this proves that x = 17, give the two initial equations
