Please help me please

For a question like this, all you have to do is remember that a percentage is simply a fraction expressed as a decimal. So, all we have to do is:
$\frac{187}{550}$ , and then multiply our decimal answer by 100 to get the percentage:
$\frac{187}{550}$ = 0.34
0.34 x 100 = 34
Therefore 34% of the students walk to school.
I hope this helped and remember to please try and understand the maths that got the answer, not just writing the answer down :))

The first three steps in determining the solution set of the system of equations algebraically are shown in the table. y = −x2 +

lianna [129]

You have a system of equations $\left \{ {{y = -x^2+2x-9} \atop {y =-6x+6}} \right.$ .

1. Substitude right side of second equation into the left side of the first equation: $-6x+6=-x^2+2x-9$ .

2. Solve this equation:
$x^2-2x+9-6x+6=0, \\ x^2-8x+15=0, \\ D=(-8)^2-4\cdot 1\cdot 15=64-60=4, \\ \sqrt{D}=2, \\ x_{1,2}=\dfrac{8\pm 2}{2 } =3,5$ .

3. Find y:
for $x_1=3, y_1=-6\cdot 3+6=-18+6=-12$ ,
for $x_2=5, y_2=-6\cdot 5+6=-30+6=-24$ .

4. The solutions of the system are: (3,-12) and (5,-24).
Answer: Correct choice is A.

A bag contains n white tiles and five black tiles. The tiles are all equal in shape and sizes. A tile is drawn at random and is

pochemuha

We know that our bag has n white tiles and 5 black tiles.

So, the total number of tiles in the bag is n + 5.

We know that a tile is drawn at random and is replaced, then a second tile is drawn.

a) We want to find the probability that the first tile is white.

Because all the tiles have the same probability of being randomly drawn, the probability of drawing a white tile is just the quotient between the number of white tiles and the total number of tiles in the bag.

$P = n/(n + 5)$
