$\boxed{\boxed{\text{ if } \dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d} \text{ then }a\times d=b\times c}}$

$\dfrac{10}{7}=\dfrac{x}{5}\\\\10\times5=7\times x\\50=7x\\7x=50\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{50}{7}}$

Monica [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the perimeter is 48 = 2L + 2W. This reduces to

24 = L + W. Next, substitute, one by one, the 3 widths 10 cm, 3.6 cm and w cm:

a) If W = 10 cm, 24 = L + W becomes 24 = L + 10, or L = 14 cm

b) If W = 3.6 cm, 24 = L + W becomes 24 = L + 3.6, or L = 20.6 cm

c) If W = w, 24 L + W becomes 24 = L + w, so that L = (24 - w) cm

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is the third option,

$L(p(x))=2.425(1.082)^{x}$

From the statement we know the function that models the population growth over the years (p(x)) but we have been told that there is an estimated loss that can be modeled by the function L(p), so in order to find which function represents the final function, we need to composite the function, which is the same that evaluate p(x) into the function L(p).

We are given:

$p(x)=2.5(1.082)^{x}$
