X + y = 54
x - y = 18 Add the two equations together
---------------
2x = 72 Divide both sides by 2

x = 36
36 + y = 54 Subtract 36 from both sides
y = 18
the numbers are 36 & 18

in 1990 there were about 5.4 billion people in the world. if the population has been growing at 1.95% per year, estimate the yea

kompoz [17]

Answer:

2011

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the formula.

$A=P(1+r)^{n}$

A = Final Value

P = Starting Value

R = Rate

N = Time in Years

A = 8,000,000,000

P = 5,400,000,000

R = 0.0195

N = Time in Years

Solve for n.

20.35 Years from 1990; so sometime in 2011 the population would be 8 billion.
