There will be 1.078x students next year and equation is number of students in next year = x + 7.8% of x
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given, There are "x" number of students at helms.
The number of students increases by 7.8% each year which means if there "x" number of students in present year, then the number of students in next year will be x + 7.8% of x
Number of students in next year = number of students in present year + increased number of students.

Thus there will be 1.078x students in next year
Answer:15. 5/8 = 0.625
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
480 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance between Maria's house and mountains ans r represent Maria's rate for going trip.
We have been given that there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 12 hours.


We are also told that hen Maya drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 8 hours. Maria's average rate was 20 miles per hour faster on the trip home.
So Maria's speed while returning back would be
.

Upon equating both distances, we will get:






Upon substituting
in equation
, we will get:

Therefore, Maya live 480 miles away from the mountains.
Answer:
x=1/4
y = -2
(1/4, -2)
b
Step-by-step explanation:
4x -y =3
y =-8x
substitute y =-8x into the first equation. Everywhere you see y put 8x
4x -y =3
4x - (-8x) =3
4x+8x=3
combine like terms
12x = 3
divide by 12
12x/12x = 3 /12
x = 1/4
now we need to find y
y = -8x
y = -8 * 1/4
y = -2
