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.

Answer:

(2,10) or x=2 y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>1. Pick one of your equations and solve for a variable. I chose the first equation and solved for x.</em>

5x-2y=-10 (Move the -2y to the other side, you need to do the opposite so you add +2y to -10)

5x=2y-10 (Divide the 5 from the x)

x=2/5y-2

<em>2. Now take what you got for x and plug it into the x variable on the other equation.</em>

3(2/5y-2)+6y=66 (Multiply 3 by 2/5y and -2)

6/5y-6=6y=66 (Move the -6 to the other side and add 6/5y to 6y)

36/5y=72 (Since the number on the y is a fraction, you must do the opposite to the other side)

y=72/1 x 5/36 (Flip your fraction and multiply it by the 72)

y=10

<em>3. Now that you have one of the variables solved for, in order to get the other we must plug in what we have to the first equation.</em>

5x-2(10)=-10 (Multiple 2 by 10)

5x-20=-10 (Move -20 to the other side, since you do the opposite add +20 to the -10)

5x=10 ( Divide 10 by 5)

x= 2

<em>4. If needed, plug in the values of x and y to check your solution.</em>

Hope this could help! :)

2 − 4 x 6 Select the expression that represents the following statement: multiply the difference of 5 and 2 by 7, and then add 6
otez555 [7]

Hey there!

2 - 4 * 6

= 2 - 24

= -22


Option A.
7 * (5 - 2) + 6

= 7 * 3 + 6

= 21 + 6

= 27

Option A. is incorrect


Option B.
5 + 2 * 7 + 6

= 5 + 14 + 6

= 19 + 6

= 25

Option B. is also incorrect


Option C.
7 * (5 + 2) - 6
= 7 * 7 - 6

= 49 - 6

= 43

Option C. is also incorrect


Option D.

6 - 2 + (7 * 5)

= 6 - 2 + 35

= 4 + 35

= 39

Thus, it seems like NONE of the ABOVE is correct


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
