Can someone me figure out the answer?

8763

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of students the college had last year. Then this year's enrollment is ...

... x - 3%·x = 8500

... x(1 - 0.03) = 8500 . . . . . collect terms

... x = 8500/0.97 ≈ 8762.89 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

Enrollment last year was about 8763.

Of course, you know 3% = 3/100 = 0.03.

it has the same slope and a different y-intercept

hope this : )

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
