Answer:

28 million college students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent all college students as x. This means that all part-time college students are \frac{31}{100}x. Because all part-time college students are also equal to 8.6 million, we have 8,600,000=\frac{31}{100}x. To find the number of total college students, or x, we have to multiply by 100/31 to get rid of the fraction on the other side:

8,600,00\cdot\frac{100}{31}=x

The left side of the equation evaluates as 27,741,935.5. Because we are asked to round to the nearest million, we have to round to 28 million, which is the closest.

Given that g(x)=3x - 12, what is the value of x when g(x)=-27?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

If g(x)= 3x - 12, and g(x)= -27 then -27 = 3x -12

Solve for x

     -27 = 3x -12, add 12 to both sides

-27+12 = 3x, add -27+12

     -15 = 3x, divide both sides by 3

      -5 = x

Hi there! :)

\large\boxed{j(h(x))(2) = 31}

Solve for j(h(x)):

h(x) = x² + 4

j(x) = 4x - 1

Substitute in h(x) into "x":

j(h(x)) = 4(x² + 4) - 1

j(h(x)) = 4x² + 16 - 1

j(h(x)) = 4x² + 15

Solve at x = 2:

4(2)² + 15 = 4(4) + 15 = 31.
