<em>Let's set up an equation</em> to figure this out!
<u>"ten more"</u> means we need to put + 10 in the equation
<u>"than a number"</u> can be represented by x
x + 10 = -122
Solve!
x = -122 - 10
x = -132
The answer is -132
That's an increase of 14,000 people from the year 1995. The year 2000 would be 5 years later. We compare this increase of 14,000 to the original population, 20,000, and get:
14,000
------------- * 100% = 70%
20,000
Answer:
a. 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
y=x/3-5 (rewrite x - term)
y = (1/3) x + 5
recall that in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation y = mx + b
m is the slope.
In our case, we can clearly see that slope m = (1/3)
