If you increase the number of police officers from 648,000 to 719,000...you have increased the total employment by 719,000 minus 648,000 
= 71,000

You want to see how much the percentage increase was from 2006 to 2016, so you use your 2006 value of police officers to find the percentage increase.

So you divide 71,000 by 648,000 and multiply by 100 
=10.957%

Rounded off to 10.96% which is your final answer

Annette [7]

Answer:

The value of x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data set

12,15,x,19,28

  • Given that the median of the data is 18.
  • We know that the median is the middle number in a data set when the data points are in ascending order.

As the given data is already in ascending order.

  • Please observe that the data set has an odd number of data points, meaning that the middle number is the median of the data is 18.

As 'x' is the middle number, thus it represents the median value.

Therefore, the value of x = 18

Given two equations of lines : y=-2x+4 and -2y= 4x-8 how do the lines compare
dem82 [27]

Answer:

They are the same line

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have equations of line and want to compare them, make sure the y is isolated (by itself)

the second equation -2y = 4x-8 is not isolated

To isolate, divide both sides by -2

\frac{-2y}{-2} =y

\frac{4x-8}{-2} = -2x+4

Now you have y=-2x+4, which is the same equation as the first!

(remember that if you divide a negative number by a negative number, you will get a positive one)
