The answer is x=5/8. The reason for this is when you divide it equal 0.625 then when you multiply that by 2 it equals 1.25. After you do that you add 5 which is 6.25. Now we divide 4/5 which is 0.8. Now, we multiply 6.25x0.8=5. 5-4=1. Therefore your answer is 5/8. Hope this helps :)
Let's first find the equation to find what the population went up to. X, will be the population of last year.
1.15x=76,894
Now, we need x by itself, so we need to divide both sides by 1.15.
76,894÷1.15≈66,864
There are decimals, but for this problem, hae .3478 of a person would not fit.
We can check our answer.
66,864×.15=10,029.6
10,029.6+66,864=76,893.6 (rounds up to 76,864)
So the population of the town last year was about 66,864 (66,864.3478) people.
The total area of pool and border = 361 square feet.
Length of square pool = x
Length of square pool plus border = (x + 1 +1 ) = x + 2
There is 1 foot length on each side on the x length.
The other length of the square pool and border = (x + 2)
Area = (x+2)(x+2)
(x + 2)(x +2) = 361. Let A = x +2
A*A = 361
A² = 361 Take square root of both sides
A = √361
A = 19
A = x + 2 = 19
x = 19 - 2
x = 17
Area of square pool = x*x = 17*17 = 289
Area of the pool = 289 square feet.
Yeah honestly same it’s ok tho
