Canton: 7,720 and increases at a rate of 80 people per year.
Holly Spring: 3,200 and increases at rate of 120 people per year.
Let x be the number of years.
Canton = 7,720 + 80x
Holly Spring = 3,200 + 120x
7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
80x - 120x = 3,200 - 7720
-40x = -4520
x = -4520 / -40
x = 113
It would take 113 years before the populations are equal.
7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
7,720 + 80(113) = 3,200 + 120(113)
7,720 + 9,040 = 3,200 + 13,560
16,760 = 16,760
An explicit equation is an equation used to find a term in a sequence without using the any previous terms. For example, if I have the set of numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, my explicit equation is F(n)=2(n-1)+1. If I plug 1 in for n, I get F(1)= 2(0)+1, which is 1, my first term.
Hope this made sense.
Answer:
76.8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We assume, that the number 31.25 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 31.25, so we can write it down as 100%=31.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=31.25
2) x%=24
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=31.25/24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 24 is what percent of 31.25
100%/x%=31.25/24
(100/x)*x=(31.25/24)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3020833333333*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3020833333333) to get x
100/1.3020833333333=x
76.8=x
x=76.8
now we have:
24 is 76.8% of 31.25
Answer:
The manager did not make a good suggestion.
Any values of x that are less than or equal to -20 will result in a non-negative output and will not meet the customer's needs.
