X=-2 not 2.
EXPLANATION:
x-2y=12
-3x+y=-1
x-2y=12
2(-3x+y)=-1
x-2y=12
-6x+2y=-2
-5x=10
5x/-5=10/-5

X = - 2/4
X = - 1/2 OR X = - 0.5
Answer:
area of trapezium in terms of x=1/2*x(x+3+x+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Current population = 530,300 people
Growth rate = 0.8% per year
Unknown
Population in 15 more years = ?
To solve this problem, we must compound the increase per year.
This implies that we treat the problem like that of a compound interest.
Since we know that population increases by 0.8%,
it is similar to 1 +
= 1.008 increase
Now the population in 15years will be;
530300 x (1.008)¹⁵ = 597626 people
So, the population after 15yrs is 597626 people
