Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The horizontal distance from points (5,-18) and (8,-17) is 3 because it is 3 units from 5 to 8. The vertical distance is 1 since it is one unit from -18 to -17. Now we can use the equation
where a=3 and b=1 and c is the distance that you are looking for:

Answer:
x= 14
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5x +10x = 224 CENTS
solving for x
16x = 224
x = 14, the number of each coin there is
Answer:
27 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Town A:
Initial population = 14280
Rate = increase by 160 per year
Let t = time in years
Population is thus :
14280 + 160t - - - (1)
Town B:
Initial population = 24000
Rate = decrease by 200 per year
P = 24000 - 200t - - - (2)
Equate both equations :
14280 + 160t = 24000 - 200t
160t + 200t = 24000 - 14280
360t = 9720
t = 9720 / 360
t = 27
