Question

In 2004,the number of graduate students at a university was approximately 26,000 fewer than the number of undergraduate students .If the number of undergraduate students was n, write the number of graduate students that attended the university as an algebraic expression

Answer 1

Answer: n-26,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Since, the number of graduate students was approximately 26,000 fewer than the number of undergraduate students  (n).

We simply have to subtract 26,000 (students ) to the number of under graduated students (n)

n-26,000

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer 2

Answer: x = n - 26000

Step-by-step explanation: If the number of undergraduates is given as n, then we shall call the number of graduate students x.

The data given shows that the number of graduate students is approximately 26,000 fewer than the number of undergraduates, n (that is n - 26000). In other words, the number of graduates, x can be expressed as follows;

x = n - 26000
