1. Let's call the number of carter school: "x" and "y" the number of alternative school.  Then, you have that:

 - T<span>he number of charter schools is 4 less than twice the number of alternative schools.
</span> - T<span>here are 48 charter schools in the country.

 2. So, you have:

 x=2y-4  (i)

 x=48  (ii)

 3. Then, when you substitute x=48 into the equation (i), you obtain:
</span>
 x=2y-4
<span> 48=2y-4

 4. Now, you must clear "y, as below:

 48+4=2y
 2y=52
 y=52/2
 y=26
 </span><span>
 How many alternative schools are in the county?
</span><span>
 The answer is: There are 26 alternative schools.</span>

Hi there!

Ok, so, here are the important facts:

Yearly population growing rate : 0.9%

Population in January 2016 : 1 988 817

Population in January 2019 (3 years later) : x


First off, you need to calculate 0.9% of the population in January 2016 to figure out the number of people it represents :

Saying 0.9% of 1 988 817 is like saying 0.9% times 1 988 817!


\frac{0.9}{100} = \frac{?}{1 988 817}


To solve this, you can use the cross product method :

(1 988 817 × 0.9) ÷ 100 = ?

1 789 935.3 ÷ 100 = ?

17 899.353 = ?


So 0.9% represents a growing rate of 17 899.353 people (we'll keep the decimals just to be more precise in the end).


Now, since you want to know the expected population in January 2019, 3 years later, you need to multiply 17 899.353 by 3 and then add the result to the population number in 2016 :


(17 899.353 × 3) + 1 988 817 = x

53 698.059 + 1 988 817 = x

2 042 515.059 = x

2 042 515 ≅ x (Since we are talking about a population, which represents a certain amout of people, you need to round the number)


Your answer is : The expected population of Indianapolis in January 2019 would be of 2,042,515 people.


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

PLEASE ANSWER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Tcecarenko [31]
The y- intercept has to be a point in the line where x is 0. Which means that in this case it would be -4.
To find the slope, use the formula: rise over run —> y2 - y1/x2 - x1
Choose any two coordinates and plug them in. Then simplify. Let me know if you have any questions by commenting:)
Hope I helped:)

Answer the following questions CORRECTLY I will know if this is wrong. I WILL REPORT ANY INCORRECT ANSWERS!
valkas [14]

Answer by JKismyhusbandbae: expression 2 and expression 1

Look at the four expressions. Simplify any expressions that can be simplified to see which two are equivalent.

8v × 30v = ( 8 × 30) × ( v × v) = 240v^2

Since expression 2 can be simplified to expression 1, they are equivalent.
