Question

One seventeenth of Rhode Island's population density minus 17 equals the population density of Colorado. What is Rhode Island's population density? The population density of Colorado is 42.

Answer 1

Answer:

Population density of Rhode Island's population density is 1003.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rhode Island's population density be d.

It is given that One seventeenth of Rhode Island's population density minus 17 equals the population density of Colorado, and the population density of Colorado is 42.

So, we have

$\frac{1}{17}d-17=42$

$\frac{1}{17}d=42+17$

$\frac{1}{17}d=59$

$d=59\times 17$

$d=1003$

Hence, the population density of Rhode Island's population density is 1003.

Answer 2

1/17r - 17 = 42
1/17r = 42 + 17
1/17r = 59
r = 59 * 17/1
r = 1003 <== Rhode Islands population density (r)
