In 2010, a city's population was 1,405,233 and it was decreasing at a rate of 1.1%. At this rate when will the city's population fall below 1,200,000?
c. 2036
This is a system of equations.
First, you set everything in terms of y.
Take the first equation and move set everything equal to y
y=0+2x
Since it’s 0, you don’t need to put it, so
y=2x works.
Then, you plug y=2x into the bottom equation, for the y.
-7x +3(2x)=2. You do this because now you have the same variable for both and it can be solved easily.
Then you can simplify.
-7x+3x = 2
Then combine like terms.
-4x = 2
Divide by -4 on each side.
x = -1/2
So, now that you have x, you can plug in your x-value back into the top equation.
-2(-1/2) + y = 0
Combine like terms
1+y=0
Get y by itself
y=-1
There you have it!
You can check by plugging in both values to any of the equations. We will use the top one here.
-2(-1/2) + (-1) =0
+1 + -1 = 0
It works!
So,
X= -1/2
Y= -1
Please rate me Brainliest answer :)
I would add like terms, meaning subtract 6.4 from both sides.
3.5n = 36.1
I think it's 720
Have a GREAT day!
Answer:
Why is | 7 | the absolute value of the number 7?
The absolute value of a number is how far away the number is from zero. The absolute value is ALWAYS positive.
What is the absolute value of -7?
The negative version of the number is also | 7 |
