SOLUTIONS

Given: Assume y is the population

\begin{gathered} t=0=1960,y=14030 \\ t=1=1961,y=14060 \\ so\text{ b = 14000} \\ so\text{ k = 30} \end{gathered}

The town grow at the rate of 30 people per year.

y=kt+14000y=30t+14000

(A) The population predicted to be in 2030 will be

\begin{gathered} 2030-1960=70 \\ y=30k+14000 \\ y=30(70)+14000 \\ y=2100+14000 \\ y=16100people \end{gathered}

(B) so when y = 15000, find t

\begin{gathered} y=15000 \\ y=30t+14000 \\ 15000=30t+14000 \\ 15000-14000=30t \\ 1000=30t \\ t=\frac{1000}{30} \\ t\approx33 \\ t=1960+33 \\ t=1993 \end{gathered}

24 is 16% of what number
Eva8 [605]
Is/of = %/100 plug the numbers in 24/x = 16/100 then cross multiply then you get 2400 = 16x so you get x by itself so you would have to divide by 16. 2400/16 = 16x/16 the 16 on the x side cancel out so you get x = 150 (I used proportions)

The following is a rhombus, solve for x
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

maybe since the rhombus is divided into triangles it'll be easier. x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

the total degrees in a triangle would be 180 and the inner little angles would be 90 degrees so you would solve for (7x - 1) + (4x + 3) + 90 = 180 so 11x + 2 = 90 so 11x = 88 so x = 8

hope this helps!
