<span>Let x=one number and x+12= the other number.  Together the numbers=54.  Set up the equation:  x+x+12=54;  Combine the variables;  2x+12=54;  Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation;  2x=42; Divide both sides of the equation by 2;  x=21 is one number and 21+12=33 is the other number.  Check:  2(21) +12=54;  42+12=54;  54=54.</span>

Solve for g.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

g =6/5                           g=-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(5g − 6)(2g + 5) = 0

Using the zero product property

(5g − 6)  =0          (2g + 5) = 0

5g-6+6 =0+6             2g+5-5=0-5

5g =6                          2g =-5

5g/5 = 6/5                  2g/2 =-5/2

g =6/5                           g=-5/2

The population of the United States was about 280 million in 2000 and about 310 million in 2010. What was the annual rate of cha
JulsSmile [24]

To find the annual rate of chnge, we have to use the following formula

\frac{P(2010)-P(2000)}{2010-2000}

P(2010) represents the population in the year 2010 and P(2000) represents the population in the year 2000 .

Substituting the values, we will get

\frac{310-280}{2010-2000} = \frac{30}{10} = 3 \ million \ per \ year
