Let's first find the equation to find what the population went up to. X, will be the population of last year.
1.15x=76,894
Now, we need x by itself, so we need to divide both sides by 1.15.
76,894÷1.15≈66,864
There are decimals, but for this problem, hae .3478 of a person would not fit.
We can check our answer.
66,864×.15=10,029.6
10,029.6+66,864=76,893.6 (rounds up to 76,864)
So the population of the town last year was about 66,864 (66,864.3478) people.

The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width.If the length is decreased by 4 m and the width is increased by 1 m , the perimet
o-na [289]

Answer:

Length = 27 metres

Width = 9 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the width to be x.

Then the length will be 3x.

The perimeter is 66m when the width is increased by 1m and the length is decreased by 4m.

So the dimensions will become:

Length=3x-4

Width=x+1

Now solve for the variable x using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2(l+b)

66 = 2(3x-4+x+1)     (Divide both sides by 2 and simplify the parentheses)

33 = 4x-3      (Add 3 to both sides)

36 = 4x        (Divide both sides by 4)

x = 9

Now plug-in the value of x into the original dimensions which were:

Length=3x

Width=x

So the dimensions are:

Length = 27 metres

Width = 9 metres

How can you solve real-world and mathematical problems with numerical and algebraic equations and inequalities?
Oliga [24]
You can solve real-world and mathematical problems with numerical and algebraic equations and inequalities. Algebra can be applied to the temperature in different places that both change, height of a growing child over time, the speed of a car that changes over time (mph), and the age of people that increases over year. Algebra is used in parts of our everyday life, we just don’t realize it.
