A half of a class and a half of a student got A on a test. If yet another student got an A, then two-thirds of the class would have an A for the test! How many students are there in that class?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

6 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of students in class be x

Since Half of the class represents half of the students, therefore

Number of student who got A in test = $(x)/(2)$

Now if one more student got A in test then the number of students who got A in test will be $(x)/(2) +1$

Now according to equation,

$(2x)/(3) = (x)/(2) +1$

$(2x)/(3) - (x)/(2) = 1$

Further solving

$(4x-3x)/(6) = 1$

$x = 6$

Hence the total number of students in class is 6.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x+2/3=2/3x

2/3=4/6x-3/6x=1/6x

x=9

Answers

Answer:

Standard form: 3. 5x + 3y = 7

None of the Forms: 4. y + 5 = 3(2x - 4)

Slope Intercept Form: 1. y = 4x - 2

Point Slope Form: 2. y - 3 = 2(x + 1)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

standard form - 3

none of the forms - 2 or 4

slope intercept form - 1

point slope form - 2 or 4

A square has vertices J(–1, 4), U(5, 4), M(5, –2), P(–1, –2). After a dilation, square J U M P has vertices J(–0.5, 2), U(2.5, 2), M(2.5, –1), P(–0.5, –1). What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Answers

The scale factor would be multiplies by half because 1x.5=.5. And it did that with all the numbers so the answer is .5
