Answer: Population in 200 = 281 million.

Population in 2010 = 308 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the population in 2000 ( in millions).

Given : According to the report “Population Distribution and Change: 2000 to 2010” from the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. population increased by 27.3 million people from 2000 to 2010.

This was a 9.7% increase.

∵ 9.7%=0.097

then, we have 0.097x=27.3

Divide both sides , by 0.097, we get

x=281.443298969\approx281 [Rounded to nearest million]

Hence, the population in 200 = 281 million.

Then, the population in 2010=281+27.3=308.3\approx308 million  [Rounded to nearest million]

Solve the following equation.<br> x^2 + 6x − 40 = 0
jonny [76]

Answer:

x = 4 and -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

x²+6x-40= 0

The common factors to use for the factorisation are +10 and -4

x²+(10x-4x)-40=0

(x²+10x)-(4x-40) = 0

x(x+10)-4(x+10) = 0

(x-4)(x+10) = 0

x-4 =0 and x+10 = 0

x = 4 and x = -10
