The table shows where sixth grade students at sharonton middle school attended fifth grade. there are 156 sixty grade students. how many more students attended sharonton elementary than deacon elementary?

  39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of sixth grade students = 156

The fraction of students attended Sharonton Elementary =

The number of students attended Sharonton Elementary =

The fraction of students attended Deacon Elementary =

The number of students attended Deacon Elementary =

Thus , the more number of students attended Sharonton Elementary than Deacon Elementary:-

Hence, the 39 students attended more Sharonton Elementary than Deacon Elementary.

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
