Answer:
227750
Step-by-step explanation:
If we assume that the rate of increase in population is linear, then in 4 years the increase in population is (224000 - 221000) = 3000.
So, the rate of increase in population is persons per year.
Now, we have to calculate the population of the town after an additional 5 years.
So, the population in 5 years will increase by (750 × 5) = 3750
Therefore, the population after an additional 5 years will be (224000 + 3750) = 227750. (Answer)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of 2 coins and y be the number of 5 coins. Let z be the number of 10 coins she exchanged. Then, we have the first equation
Since she has one 5 coin less than 2 coins, then y=x-1. So we get the equation
which is equivalent to
If we add 5 on both sides and factor out on the right by 5 we get
We can solve for x and get
Since x represents the number of 2 coins, we must have that x is an integer. That is, we cannot have, for example 1.5 2 coins. Since 7 doesn't divide 5, we must have that 7 divides 2z+1. That is, the value of z is such that the number 2z+1 is multiple of 7. That is 2z+1 = 7p where p is an integer.
If that is the case, then
x = 5p, then y = 5p-1. By having 2z+1 = 7p, we are forcing that p is an odd integer, so we have infinite solutions. For each value of p that is an odd integer, then x=5p and y=5p-1 is a solution to the problem
