Answer from: dbrwnn

The answer is: " 40 students " .

Explanation:

60% of x = 24 . Find "x" . in which "x" = total number of students;

60 % = 60/100 = 6/10 = 3/5.

(3/5) x = 24 ;

Multiply EACH SIDE of the equation by "5" ; to get rid of the fraction:

5* (3/5)x = 24*5 ;

3x = 120 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "3" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;

3x / 3 = 120 / 3 ;

x = 40 .

The answer is: " 40 students " .

Answer from: Quest

$y> \frac{1}{3}x$ and y≤ -x +4 .

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be = $\frac{1-0}{3-0} = \frac{1}{3}$ .

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= $\frac{1}{3}$ and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

$y=\frac{1}{3}x$ .

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

$y> \frac{1}{3}x$ .

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be = $\frac{4-1}{0-3} = \frac{3}{-3}=-1$ .

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be

y≤ -x +4 .
Write a system of inequalities to represent the shaded portion of the graph.

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

$(zy )^{2} +10^{2} = {(10 \sqrt{2}) }^{2}$

$(zy )^{2} +100= 200$

group similar terms to get,

$(zy )^{2}= 200 - 100$

this implies that,

$(zy )^{2}=100$

take positive square root of both sides to get,

$zy = \sqrt{100}$

this implies that,

$zy = 10$

What is the distance from point y to wx in the figure below
