a teacher had 23 pupils to her class. all but 7 of them went on an excursion trip and thus were away for the day. how many students remains in the class that day.

16

Step-by-step explanation:

If the teacher had 23 but then 7 had to go away for a trip, then all you do is subtract 23 and 7:

23-7= 16

Thus, the teacher had 16 students that day after the 7 went away.

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
