ii) There are 3665 students enrolled this year.

b. i) L=T-186
ii) There are 3665 students enrolled this year.

c. i) T=L-186
ii) There are 3293 students enrolled this year.

d. i) L=T-186
ii) There are 3293 students enrolled this year.

Answer 1

The accurate formula reflecting the relationship between last year's and this year's enrollment is T = L - 186. There are 3293 students enrolled this year.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) T = L - 186

ii) To find this year's enrollment, we substitute the value of L from the given information:

T = L - 186
T = 3479 - 186
T = 3293

Therefore, the accurate formula reflecting the relationship between the two variables is T = L - 186 and there are 3293 students enrolled this year (option c).
