Answer:

The number is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

3x+4 = 28

Subtract4 from each side

3x+4-4 = 28-4

3x= 24

Divide by 3

3x/3 =24/3

x = 8

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Approximately 62 gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount, in millions gallons of water, spent by Lee County, in t years after 2019, is given by the following equation:

$P(t) = P(0)(1 + r)^{t}$

In which P(0) is the amount spent on 2019 and r is the increse rate, as a decimal.

In the year 2019, Lee County used approximately 55 million gallons of water.

This means that $P(0) = 55$

Historical trends show that each year the water demand is increasing by a rate of approximately 2.1%.

This means that $r = 0.021$

$P(t) = P(0)(1 + r)^{t}$

$P(t) = 55(1 + 0.021)^{t}$

$P(t) = 55(1.021)^{t}$

Approximately how many million gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025?

2025 is 2025 - 2019 = 6 years after 2019. So this is P(6).

$P(t) = 55(1.021)^{t}$

$P(6) = 55(1.021)^{6}$

$P(6) = 62.3$

Rounded to the nearest millions

Approximately 62 gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025.
