Let x = number of months.
Let y = total number of fish in pond.
6% of 3,000 = 180 fish
We can use an equation to help us with this problem.
y = 3,000 + 180x - 400x. Combine like terms.
y = 3,000 - 220x. Plug 9 in for x.
y = 3,000 - 220(9). Solve for y
y = 1,020.
There are 1,020 fish in the pond after 9 months.
Answer:
A=16
Step-by-step explanation:
6=A/4+2
-2 -2
4=A/4
x4 x4
16=A
7x - 3x = 24
The 7x and the 3x are both like terms, so they can be combined. 7 - 3 is 4, so the equation turns into
4x = 24
Now, you want to get the x alone, so you divide both sides by 4 because it is the opposite of multiplication. 24 divided by 4 is 6, so
x = 6
Answer:
The closest answer I got was 29555.50.
Step-by-step explanation:
I used the rate r=0.0825/12 to represent the monthly rate and used that for the whole equation. I final answe I got by plugging in the numbers was 29555.11248. So I'm not too sure whether or not it't correct,
If you are allowed to use a calculator then you only need to press the buttons.
Assuming you cannot use a calculator you need to use approximation techniques. First let us begin by finding the two closest numbers that are perfect squares. In this case 11^2 and 12^2 are the closest square numbers to 129.
11^2 = 121
12^2 = 144
We can already tell that the square root of 129 is closer to 11 than to 12.
Now we need to get even closer.
If you try squaring a number like 11.5 then you can get even closer to 129. When you square 11.5 you get 132.25. Already you can tell that the square root of 129 is close to the square root of 132.25 or 11.5
Now we can get even closer square the number 11.25 and keep on going until one of these numbers when squared is almost or exactly 129. I hope I helped, there really isn't a great way to do this without a calculator, or by using the graph of y=x^2
