Algebra 1 Section 3.5Solve problems using linear equations At East High School,579 students take Spanish. This number has been increasing at a rate of about 30 students per year. The number of students taking French is 217 and has been decreasing at a rate of about 2 students per year. At these rates, when will there be three times as many students taking Spanish as French? Verbal Model Algebraic Equation Answer:
