Two equations
23=y+x and y=2x-1

fill in the y and solve

23= 2x-1+x
23=3x-1
+1 +1
24=3x
÷3. ÷3
8=x

fill in the second equation for y

y =2x-1
y=2(8)-1
y=16-1
y=15

Answer:

The projected population in 2026 is of 699.3 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population:

The population, in x years after 2000, is given by the follwing equation:

$y - 4.55x = 581$

That is:

$y(x) = 4.55x + 581$

What is projected population in 2026?

2026 - 2000 = 26, so this is y(26).

$y(26) = 4.55(26) + 581 = 699.3$

The projected population in 2026 is of 699.3 million.

artcher [175]

Okay so 11/4 needs to be multiplied by 2 so that the D match up.

so 11/4 x 2 = 22/8

22/8 - 3/8 = 19/8

The difference is 19/8
