1. Jefferson High School has 100 less than 5 times as many students as Taft High School. Write and evaluate an expresion to find the number of students at Jefferson High School if Taft High School has 300 studenst.
-------
J = 5T - 100
-------
If T=300 you get: J = 5*300 -100 = 1400
==========================================
2. Guadalupe Peak in Mexico has an altitude that is 671 feet more than double the altitude of Mount Sunflower in Florida. Write and evaluate an expression for the altitude of Guadalupe peak if Mount Sunflower has an altitude of 4039 feet.
---------
G = 2S + 671
If S = 4039 then G = 2*4039 + 671 = 8749
=============================================
