J=2020-125x
T=1075+80x

anonymous · Answer

so im a bit confused why that ? sorry when it comes to math im completly lost

kash_thesmartguy · Answer

x represents years, -125 represents loss of students and J represents Jamestown School

anonymous · Answer

how can i write that into an answer for the question

kash_thesmartguy · Answer

@dan815

anonymous · Answer

the equations @Kash_TheSmartGuy put up are the answers for part A

anonymous · Answer

for B you need to set the equations equal to each other and solve for x
2020-125x=1075+80x

kash_thesmartguy · Answer

2020-125x=1075+80x
Solve for x and there is the time it will take them to become the same.

anonymous · Answer

x=18941 ?

anonymous · Answer

189/41

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

for C plug 189/41 in for x in either of the equations from A to get the enrollment

anonymous · Answer

59195/41 this is what i got ?

anonymous · Answer

yes. you should probably write that as a decimal and round to the nearest whole. Can't have part of a student

anonymous · Answer

1443.7804878  im not so sure how to round tho

kash_thesmartguy · Answer

Do you have to round to the nearest hundreth, tenth or what?

anonymous · Answer

1444

kash_thesmartguy · Answer

1443.8 or 1443.78 or 1444

kash_thesmartguy · Answer

anonymous · Answer

well yeah i guess your right , i just hate being really bad at math.
