Let x represent the amount of months she has been saving for.
20x - 60 = 280
Solve for x.
20x - 60 = 280
~Add 60 to both sides
20x - 60 + 60 = 280 + 60
~Simplify
20x = 340
~Divide 20 to both sides
20x/20 = 340/20
~Simplify
x = 17
Therefore, Melanie has saved for 17 months.
Best of Luck!
Solve for y in 3x+7=y
y=7−3x
Substitute y=7−3x
y=7−3x into 8x−3y=30
8x−3y=30.
17x−21=30
Solve for x
x in 17x−21=30
17x−21=30.
X=3
Substitute x=3 into y=7−3x
y=-2
Therefore,
x=3
y=−2
Given parameters:
Current population = 530,300 people
Growth rate = 0.8% per year
Unknown
Population in 15 more years = ?
To solve this problem, we must compound the increase per year.
This implies that we treat the problem like that of a compound interest.
Since we know that population increases by 0.8%,
it is similar to 1 +
= 1.008 increase
Now the population in 15years will be;
530300 x (1.008)¹⁵ = 597626 people
So, the population after 15yrs is 597626 people
Answer:
B) 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 8x + 7 = 0
(x - 1)(x - 7) = 0
x= 1, 7.
I think it is B
hope this helps
