Answer:

\left(-\dfrac{72}{35},-\dfrac{88}{35}\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

\textsf{Equation 1}: \quad \dfrac{1}{8}x-\dfrac{1}{2}y=1

\textsf{Equation 2}: \quad \dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{8}y=-1

Multiply Equation 1 by 8:

\textsf{Equation 1}: \quad 8\left(\dfrac{1}{8}x-\dfrac{1}{2}y=1\right)\implies x-4y=8

Multiply Equation 2 by 32:

\textsf{Equation 2}: \quad 32\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{8}y=-1\right)\implies \dfrac{32}{3}x+4y=-32

Add the new equations together to eliminate y:

\begin{array}{ l r c r c r}& x & - & 4y & = & 8\\\\+ & \dfrac{32}{3}x & + & 4y & = & -32\\\\\cline{1-6}\\& \dfrac{35}{3}x & & & = & -24\end{array}

\implies \dfrac{35}{3}x=-24

Multiply both sides by 3:

\implies 35x=-72

Divide both sides by 35:

\implies x=-\dfrac{72}{35}

To find the y-value, substitute the found value of x into Equation 1 and solve for y:

\implies \dfrac{1}{8}\left(-\dfrac{72}{35}\right)-\dfrac{1}{2}y=1

\implies -\dfrac{72}{280}-1=\dfrac{1}{2}y

\implies -\dfrac{44}{35}=\dfrac{1}{2}y

\implies y=-\dfrac{88}{35}

<u>Solution</u>

\left(-\dfrac{72}{35},-\dfrac{88}{35}\right)

in sub-Saharan African an estimated 28.5 million people are infected with AIDS. Unfortunately that number is rising. and it is e
Viktor [21]

Answer:

About 28,671,342 people

Step-by-step explanation:

This is compound growth problem. This goes by the formula:

F=P(1+r)^t

Where

F is the future amount (in 3 years)

P is the present amount (28.5 million)

r is the rate of growth (0.4% = 0.4/100 = 0.004)

t is the time in years (3 years)

We first, need to find the rate of growth annually. It is given 0.4% every 2 years, so in 1 year that would be:

0.4%/2 = 0.2% = 0.002

Now, we put the information into formula and solve:

F=P(1+r)^t\\F=28500000(1+0.002)^3\\F=28500000(1.002)^3\\F=28,671,342

So, around 28,671,342 people will be infected in 3 years.
