Answer:
8763
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of students the college had last year. Then this year's enrollment is ...
... x - 3%·x = 8500
... x(1 - 0.03) = 8500 . . . . . collect terms
... x = 8500/0.97 ≈ 8762.89 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Enrollment last year was about 8763.
_____
Of course, you know 3% = 3/100 = 0.03.
Answer:
x + y = 11
10x + 5y = 80
Step-by-step explanation:
-2=-x+x square-4
firstly regroup the equation
x square-2x+x-2=0
x square-x-2=0
multiply the first term by the last term.(I.e x square multiply by -2=-2x square)
product of factor = -2x 1
sum of factor= -2x+1(x)= -1
x square -2x+x-2=0
open the bracket:
x(x-2)+1(x-2)=0
x=1 or x=-2
Therefore; x=-1 or x=2
Answer:
i
Step-by-step explanation:
i^ even power
i^2 = i*i = -1
i^4 = =1
So raised to an even power, it will be either 1 or negative 1
raised to an odd power it will be either i or -i
Answer:
(7, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply first eq. by 3 to get 6x - 3y = 60
now do
6x + 3y = 60
- 6x - 5y = 12
--------------------
8y = 48
solve for y: y = 6
with this y value, plug it in to the first equation (easier to solve) and get 2x + 6 = 20
solve for x and get x = 7
so ans is (7, 6)
