The number of juniors in Haley's statistics class at Michigan State University is
more than six times the number of seniors.

Let
represent the number of seniors.

The number of juniors can be represented by

Let the number of seniors in Haley's statistics class be represented by \( s \).

Since the number of juniors is more than six times the number of seniors, the number of juniors can be represented as:

\[
j = 6s + x
\]

where \( x \) is a positive number representing how much more the number of juniors is compared to six times the number of seniors.

Would you like more details or have any questions? Here are some related questions you might consider:

1. How can we solve for \( s \) and \( j \) if additional information is provided?
2. How would the equation change if the number of juniors was **exactly** six times the number of seniors?
3. What if the number of juniors was less than six times the number of seniors?
4. How would this problem change if there were twice as many juniors as seniors?
5. How would we model this situation if we had a ratio of juniors to seniors?

**Tip**: Always check whether the conditions specify "exactly," "more than," or "less than" to ensure accurate representation in equations.
