Answer:
20 students
Step-by-step explanation:
If the class decreased by 15%, the students that she has now (17) represents a percentaje of:
100% - 15% = 85%
so<u> the 17 students are 85% of what she had</u>:
Students Percentage
17 ⇒ 85%
and we are looking for how many students she had 2 years ago, thus we are looking for the <u>100%</u> of students (the original number of studens). If we represent this number by x:
Students Percentage
17 ⇒ 85%
x ⇒ 100%
and we solve this problem using the <u>rule of three</u>: multiply the cross quantities on the table( 17 and 100) and then divide by the remaining amount (85):
x = 17*100/85
x = 1700/85
x=20
2 years ago she had 20 students
Find total ounces mixed for each flower:
Daisies = 2+5 = 7 ounces
Tulips = 3 +6 = 9 ounces
Now find the ratio of purple to white for each one:
Daisies = 5/7 = 0.714
Tulips = 6/9 = 0.666
Daisies have more purple so would be the darker ones.

Answer:
3.58
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
y = 2x + 4 -------- eq1
y = 2x - 4 -------- eq2
sanity check : both equations have same slope, so we can conclude that they are both parallel to one another.
Step 1: consider equation 1, pick any random x-value and find they corresponding y-value. we pick x = -2
This gives us y = 2(-2) + 4 = 0
Hence we get a point (x,y) = (-2,0)
Step 2: express equation 2 in general form (i.e Ax + By + C = 0)
y = 2x-4 -------rearrange---> 2x - y -4 = 0
Comparing with the general form, we get A = 2, B = -1, C = -4
Recall that the distance between 2 parallel lines is given by the attached formula (see attached picture).
substituting the values for A, B, C and (x, y) from the previous step:
d = | (2)(-2) + (-1)(0) + (-4) | / √(2² + (-1)²)
d = | -4 + 0 - 4 | / √(4 + 1)
d = | -8 | / √5
d = 8 / √5
d = 3.5777
d = 3.58 (rounded 2 dec. pl)
Answer:
AB=15 BD=18
Step-by-step explanation:
AB is 15 because AB=AC and AC is 15
BD:
Using the Pythagorean Theorem
10²+15²=√325
√325=18
10 is from AB-CD
15 is the height which is AC
