Answer:
n = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
3(n+7)=48
distribute
3n +21 = 48
subtract 21 from each side
3n = 48-21
3n = 27
divide by 3
3n/3 = 27/3
n = 9
One-half of a number plus six will equal 20.
Solving:
1/2x + 6 = 20
-6 -6
1/2x = 14
*2/1 *2/1
x = 28 <--Answer to problem
Answer:
P(t) = 27000 * (1/9)^(t/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can me modelled with an exponencial formula:
P = Po * (1+r)^t
Where P is the final value, Po is the inicial value, r is the rate and t is the amount of time.
In this problem, we have that the inicial population/value is 27000, the rate is -8/9 (negative because the population decays), and the time t is in months, so as the rate is for every 4 months, we use the value (t/4) in the exponencial.
So, our function will be:
P(t) = 27000 * (1-8/9)^(t/4)
P(t) = 27000 * (1/9)^(t/4)
