Answer:
The population decrease by 17%.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because 66,400 is 83% of 80,000.
100%-83%= 17%
Therefore, the percentage of the population that decreased was 17%
Question 13-18 & 22-27 will all be answered the same way, so i will walk you through question 13: (6,4) y=3x-2
(x,y)=(6,4)
now that we know the first number in the parenthesis is the x value and the second number in the parenthesis is the y value we can plug it into the equation. (x=6,y=4)
4=3x-2 (add two to each side)
4+2=3x
6=3x (divide 3 from each side)
x=2
---------------
y=3(6)-2
y=18-2
y=16
-------------------
answer: (2,16)
now apply the same principles to the other problems!!! hope this helped!!!
Isolate the x. Subtract 3x from both sides, and add 4 to both sides
-2x (-3x) - 4 (+4) < 3x (-3x) + 21 (+4)
-2x - 3x < 21 + 4
Simplify. Combine like terms
-5x < 25
Isolate the x. Divide -5 from both sides (remember to flip the sign).
-5x/-5 < 25/-5
x > 25/-5
x > -5
x > -5 is your answer
hope this helps
