a middle school with x students ran a survey to determine the students favorite activities. the table indicates the number of students who enjoy each activity answer parts a and b. a. write an expression in the table for each activity to represent the number of students who enjoy that activity most. (use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression.) activity word description expression drama 30 more than three - sevenths of the students soccer 31 fewer than two - sevenths of the students dance 35 more than three - sevenths of the students

Explanation:

Step1: For Drama

The word description is "30 more than three - sevenths of the students". Three - sevenths of the students is $\frac{3}{7}x$. Then 30 more than that is $\frac{3}{7}x + 30$.

Step2: For Soccer

The word description is "31 fewer than two - sevenths of the students". Two - sevenths of the students is $\frac{2}{7}x$. Then 31 fewer than that is $\frac{2}{7}x-31$.

Step3: For Dance

The word description is "35 more than three - sevenths of the students". Three - sevenths of the students is $\frac{3}{7}x$. Then 35 more than that is $\frac{3}{7}x + 35$.

Answer:

Activity	Expression
Soccer	$\frac{2}{7}x-31$
Dance	$\frac{3}{7}x + 35$
