Answer: It takes almost 19 years to reach the population of 12400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial Population = 7000

Rate of growth = 3% every year

Final population = 12400

We need to find the number of years.

As we know the formula for "Compound Interest":

A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^n\\\\12400=7000(1+\frac{3}{100})^n\\\\\frac{12400}{7000}=\frac{103}{100}^n\\\\\frac{124}{70}={1.03}^n\\\\1.771=1.03^n\\\\\text{ Taking logarithms on both the sides}\\\\\log 1.77=n\log 1.03\\\\n=\frac{\log 1.77}{\log 1.03}\\\\n=19.31\\\\n=19\ yrs

Hence, It takes almost 19 years to reach the population of 12400.

3. Jessica is awake 2/3 of the day. She spends 5/8 of this time at home
ruslelena [56]

Answer:  a. 5/12     b. 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 x 2/3 = 10/24 = 5/12

she spends 5/12 of the day awake at home

if a day has 24 hours then 5/12 of that is 5/12 x 24 = 10

so she spends 10 hours awake at home

In order to solve the system of linear equations, the coefficients of one of the variables must be the same number but opposite
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because both equations do not have matching numbers for the x or y variable, and both equations are positive you are going to have to multiply each equation by a number  so that there will be at least one variable with the same number but with opposite signs.

it does not matter which variable you choose.

lets use y because 2 and 3 are smaller then 2 and 5.

so lets multiply the first equation by 2 in order to get y equal to 6.

2(2x)+2(3y)=(2)6

(do not forget to multiply what the equation is equal to also)

4x+6y=12

now for the second equation we need y to equal negative 6

-3(5x)+-3(2y)=-3(4)

-15x-6y=-12

now lets put the 2 new equations next to each other and see what we can cancel out

4x+6y=12

-15x-6y=-12

-11x=0

x=0

now plug 0 in for x and solve for y (it does not matter which of the 4 equations you choose to solve.

2(0)+3y=6

3y=6

y=2

so your answer is x=0, y=2
