It's indepentent. In fact, the tar pit's temperature DEPENDS (dependent variable) by the air's temperature (independent variable).
Answer:
x = - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
= - 3 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )
x = - 9
The answer is 138 million.
Step 1. Calculate the growth rate.
Step 2. Calculate the population number in 2014.
We will use the formula for exponential growth:
A = P * eⁿˣ
where:
A - the final amount (value)
P - the initial amount (value)
e - the mathematical constant (e ≈ 2.72)
n - the growth rate
x - the time
Step 1:
A = 120 million = 120 000 000
P = 114 million = 114 000 000
n = ?
x = 1997 - 1991 = 6
Therefore:

Logarithm both sides of the equation:

Step 2:
Now when we know the growth rate, it is easy to estimate the population in 2014
A = ?
P = 120 000 000
n = 0.0083
t = 2014 - 1997 = 17

Thus, the population will be 138 million in 2014
Answer:
x=17/3, y=10/3. (17/3, 10/3).
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-5y=6
2x+5y=-28
-----------------
4x-5y=6
-2(2x+5y)=-2(-28)
--------------------------
4x-5y=6
-4x-10y=56
------------------
-15y=-50
15y=50
y=50/15
y=10/3
4x-5(10/3)=6
4x-50/3=6
4x=6+50/3
4x=18/3+50/3
4x=68/3
x=(68/3)/4
x=(68/3)(1/4)=68/12=17/3
