For this problem, it could be mistaken to be decay rate which is exponential. But this is actually logical to simple interest in economics.The difference would be, the principal amount and future amount are interchanged because it is decreasing. Using the formula for simple interest,

Year 1950 = Year 2010 (1 + rate*time)
The time would be 2010-1950 = 60 years

114.6 = x(1 + 0.066*60)
x = 23.1 million tons

Answer:

Amount of estimated coal that has been used in the year 2010 = 23.1 million tons

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1950 the use of coal in the us was 114.6 million tons

The use of coal has decreased by 6.6% per year since then

The time would be 2010 - 1950 = 60 years  

Let the estimate amount used in the year 2010

⇒ 114.6 = x(1 + 0.066 × 60)

⇒ 114.6 = x × 4.96

⇒ x = 23.1

Therefore, Amount of estimated coal that has been used in the year 2010 = 23.1 million tons

Find the value of each variable in the parallelogram
melomori [17]

Alright.

For 7, you'll want to put congruent sides equal to each other, assuming they are parallelograms. So, you'll get the two equations:

3x+2=23

2y-7=9

Solve using GEMDAS/PEMDAS, and you'll get these answers.

3x+2=23

3x=21

x=7

2y-7=9

2y=2

y=1

For 8, you'll want to do the exact same thing, formatting the numbers to equal each other. You'll get these two equations:

3y+5=14

2x-5=17

Solving them would make:

3y+5=14

3y=9

y=3

2x-5=17

2x=22

x=11

For 9, you have to remember that the angle opposite of one angle in a defined parallelogram are congruent. Thus:

130=2h

5k=50

solve them and you get

h=65

k=10
