here are the steps i'd take. if anything is unclear, let me know and i can explain!

-2(x+12)=-x-14

let's open the parentheses on the left side

-2x-24=-x-14

and let's move variables to one side and numbers to the other.

-x=10

let's multiply each side by -1 to get positive x

x=-10

hope i helped! good luck.

Answer: if you want to know what x is then x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

−2(x+12)=−x−14

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by x+12.

−2x−24=−x−14

Add x to both sides.

−2x−24+x=−14

Combine −2x and x to get −x.

−x−24=−14

Add 24 to both sides.

−x=−14+24

Add −14 and 24 to get 10.

−x=10

Multiply both sides by −1.

x=−10

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

8.533333

Step-by-step explanation:

9^(− 1/ 2 )+25− 1 2 +32^ (3/ 5) = 9 (−1 /2) +25(− 1 /2) +32 ^(3 /5)

=0.333333+25^(− 1/ 2) +32 ^(3 /5)

=0.333333+25 ^(−1 /2) +32 ^(3/ 5)

=0.333333+0.2+32^ (3/ 5)

=0.533333+32 ^(3 /5)

=0.533333+8

=8.533333

A city has a population of 310,000 people.Suppose that each year the population grows by 6.5% . What will the po
brilliants [131]

Answer:

546,397 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve for the above question, using the formula for Exponential growth

The formula is given as

P(t) = Po (1 + r)^t

Po = Initial population = 310,000

r = Exponential growth rate = 6.5% = 0.065

t = Time in years = 9

P(t) = Population size after time t

Hence:

P(t) = 310,000 × (1 + 0.065)⁹

P(t) = 546,396.82088 people

Approximately =546,397 people

The population will be 546,397 people after 9 years.
