Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that there are a total of 78 students. If we set the following variables:

Then, the sum of all of these must be 78, that is:

Since there are 15 in chemistry and physics and 47 in chemistry, we may replace that into the equation and we get:

Simplifying:

Now we solve for P by subtracting 62 on both sides:

Therefore, there are 16 students in physics
8x + 16 = 14x
To solve this equation, move everything containing the variable you want to solve for on one side of the equation and everything else to the other side of the equation.
Let's start by subtracting 8x from both sides to have the variable x all on the right side of the equation. Once you subtract 8x from both sides, your equation will now look like this:
16 = 6x
To solve for the variable x, you want to divide both sides of the equation by 6 to isolate x and therefore find your answer. Divide both sides by 6 and your equation should look like this:
16/6 = x
Simplifying 16/6 into a mixed number ⇒ 2 2/3
Your answer is x = 16/6 or 2 2/3.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
If
, then
and
are alternate interior angles.
This means that line segment AC is a transversal.
This implies that line segment AD is parallel to line segment BC.
The second choice is the correct answer.
