Answer:
There are 392 students in the seventh grade.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that there are x number of students in the seventh grade.
Now, 3/8 of the seventh grade students were taking Advanced math at the beginning of the year, but seven dropped out by the end of the year.
So, after the end of the year there were
number of students taking advanced math.
So, as per given condition, 
⇒ 
⇒ x = 392
Therefore, there are 392 students in the seventh grade. (Answer)
The base is 11 ft and the legs are both 19ft.
x+2x-36+2x-36=588
Addition Property of Equality
x+2x+2x=660
Combine Like Terms
5x=660
Division Property of Equality
x=132in
2(132)-36=228in
132in÷12=11ft
228in÷12=19ft
