12(3-2x) = 84

do distributive multiplication:

12(3) + 12(-2x) = 84
36 - 24x = 84

Deduct 36 to both sides

36 - 36 - 24x = 84 - 36
-24x = 48

divide -24 to both sides

-24x / -24 = 48/-24
x = -2

To check:
12(3-2x) = 84
12(3-2(-2) = 84
12(3+4) = 84
12(7) = 84
84 = 84

The current population of a small town is 2463 people. It is believed that town's population is tripling every 12 years. Approxi

Bingel [31]

{Answer:

3893 residents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for population growth:

The equation for the size of a population, considering that it doubles every n years, is given by:

$A(t) = A(0)(3)^{(\frac{t}{n})}$

In which A(0) is the initial population.

The current population of a small town is 2463 people. It is believed that town's population is tripling every 12 years.

This means that $A(0) = 2463, n = 12$ . So

$A(t) = A(0)(3)^{(\frac{t}{n})}$

$A(t) = 2463(3)^{(\frac{t}{12})}$

Approximate the population of the town 5 years from now.

This is A(5). So

$A(t) = 2463(3)^{(\frac{t}{12})}$

$A(5) = 2463(3)^{(\frac{5}{12})} = 3892.8$

Rounding to the nearest whole number, 3893 residents.
