Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up "x" as the total number of students. So now we can set up an equation:

40%x+15=x rewritten as:

.4x+15=x Subtract .4x from both sides will give us:

 

15=.6x Now divide each side by .6 to be:

25=x Therefore we know there are 25 students in the class.

Make sense?

Solve for x; y=mx+b I can find x by_______________ on both sides of the equation PLZ Show your Work Thank You

Answer:

"subtracting b, then dividing by m"

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for a particular variable, look a the operations that are being performed on that variable. Then "undo" those operations in reverse order.

Here, the operations done to x are ...

• multiply by m

• add b to the product

Using the above recipe, first we "undo" the additon of b. We accomplish that by subtracting b from both sides of the equation. This gives ...

y - b = mx + b - b

y - b = mx . . . . . . . . . simplify

Next, we "undo" the multiplicatin by m. We accomplish that by dividing both sides of the equation by m.

(y -b)/m = mx/m

(y -b)/m = x . . . . . . . . simplify

This is your solution for x:

x = (y - b)/m

We found it by subtracting b, then dividing by m on both sides of the equation.

the sum of two consecutive integers is -49 write an equation that models this situation and find the values of the two integers
hodyreva [135]
Х is the first <span>integer
</span>(x+1) is the second integer

x + x + 1 = -49
2x + 1 = - 49
2x = -49 - 1
2x = -50
x = -25  first integer
-25 + 1 = -24 second integer
