Write an equation. Use x for the population of the town.

90% of the population is the same as 90% of x.

To change a percent into a decimal, divide the percent by 100.

90/100 = 0.9, so 90% is the same as 0.9.

Now we write an equation.

0.9x = 4761

Divide both sides by 0.9:

x = 4761/0.9

x = 5290

Answer: The population of the town is 5290.

We can write an equation of this, with p representing the unknown population. We know that 90% of the population owns cars:

90% * p

We also know that 4761 people own cars, which is the same as the above expression, so we write:

90% * p = 4761.

From there, you just divide both sides by 90%, or 0.9

p = 4761/0.9 = 5290

The population is 5290 people.

To find the circumference of a semi-circle, it would be 1/2<span> π × d. So, pi (3.14) times the diameter, 5 would be 15.7, but then we would need to multiply it by 1/2 to get the circumference for half the circle, and that will get you 7.85. Now you can add all the lengths now. 7.85 + 7 + 5 + 7 = 26.85. Hope this helps! Let me know if you still don't get it. <3</span>

-1 3/5 divided by -2/3 written as mixed number
blondinia [14]
First, you must change all of this into improper fractions, like shown below.
- \frac{8}{5}\div - \frac{2}{3} =
Now you must change the sign.
- \frac{8}{5}* - \frac{2}{3} =
Then we must reciprocalize 2/3.
- \frac{8}{5}* - \frac{3}{2} =
Now we multiply, to get 2 4/10.

If equation one is mutiplied by 2 and then the equations are added the result is 2x+y=3 X-2y=-1
zloy xaker [14]

Question:

2x + y = 3, x - 2y = –1.

If equation one is multiplied by 2 and then the equations are added, the result is _____.

(A) 3x = 2

(B) 3x = 5

(C) 5x = 5

Answer:

Option C:

5x = 5

Solution:

Given equations are

2x + y = 3 – – – – (1)

x – 2y = –1 – – – – (2)

Let us first multiply equation (1) by 2, we get

(1) × 2 ⇒ 4x + 2y = 6 – – – – (3)

Now, add equation (3) to equation (2).

⇒ x – 2y + 4x + 2y = –1 + 6

Combine like terms together.

⇒  x + 4x – 2y  + 2y = –1 + 6

⇒ 5x = 5

So, if equation one is multiplied by 2 and then the equations are added, the result is 5x = 5.
