Answer:

$\boxed{y = 3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$= > \frac{5 - 7y}{2 + 4y} = - \frac{8}{7} \\ \\ = > 7(5 - 7y) = - 8(2 + 4y) \\ \\ = > (7 \times 5) - (7 \times 7y) = ( - 8 \times 2) + ( - 8 \times 4y) \\ \\ = > 35 - 49y = - 16 - 32y \\ \\ = > 35 - 49y + 32y = - 16 \\ \\ = > 35 - 17y = - 16 \\ \\ = - 17y = - 16 - 35 \\ \\ = > \cancel{- }17y = \cancel{- } 51 \\ \\ = > 17y = 51 \\ \\ = > y = \frac{51}{17} \\ \\ = > y = 3$

In 2018, the population will grow over 700,000.The population of a city in 2010 was 450,000 and was growing at a rate of 5% per

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The year is 2020.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of years passed since 2010 to reach population more than 7000000 be 'x'.

Given:

Initial population is, $P_0=450,000$

Growth rate is, $r=5\%=0.05$

Final population is, $P=700,000$

A population growth is an exponential growth and is modeled by the following function:

$P=P_0(1+r)^x$

Taking log on both sides, we get:

$\log(P)=\log(P_0(1+r)^x)\\\log P=\log P_0+x\log (1+r)\\x\log (1+r)=\log P-\log P_0\\x\log(1+r)=\log(\frac{P}{P_0})\\x=\frac{\log(\frac{P}{P_0})}{\log(1+r)}$

Plug in all the given values and solve for 'x'.

$x=\frac{\log(\frac{700,000}{450,000})}{\log(1+0.05)}\\x=\frac{0.192}{0.021}=9.13\approx 10$

So, for $x > 9.13$ , the population is over 700,000. Therefore, from the tenth year after 2010, the population will be over 700,000.

Therefore, the tenth year after 2010 is 2020.

A jacket cost $35.50 more than a pair of tennis shoes if the total cost of both items is $161.30 find the cost of each

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$62.9 and $98.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of tennis shoe be x

Since a jacket cost $35.50 more than a pair of tennis shoe,

Then cost of jacket would be

= $35.50 + x

Total cost of both items would be;

x + $35.50 + x = $161.30

2x = $161.30 - $35.50

2x = $125.8

x = $62.9

Therefore, cost of pair of tennis shoe is $62.9

Jacket cost would now be

= $35.5 + x

= $35.5 + $62.9

= $98.4
