Let x be the number.
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)

Answer:
4.1 billion
Step-by-step explanation:
1 ft = 30.48 cm
1 in = 2.54 cm
The volume of rain that fell on the roof is given by ...
V = LWH
V = (175 ft × 30.48 cm/ft)(45 ft × 30.48 cm/ft)(11 in × 2.54 cm/in)
= 175×45×11×30.48²×2.54 cm³ = 204,412,236.336 cm³
At 20 drops per cm³, this will be ...
20×204,412,236.336 ≈ 4,088,244,727 . . . . raindrops
About 4.1 billion raindrops fell on your roof.
First, distribute the 100 to the (x-1) portion:
500 = 100x - 100
then, add 100 to both sides of your equation to get “x” alone on the right side:
500 + 100 = 100x - 100 + 100
600 = 100x
next, divide 100x by 100 and 600 by 100 to isolate a singular “x”:
600/100 = 100x/100
6 = x
therefore, x=6 is your solution
Answer:
7 years (This answer is to the nearest year)
Step-by-step explanation:
The way you could work this out is by trial and error. 11 % a year means that its population increases by 4400 annually. 40,000 X 1.11^1 gives you the amount it would be after one year (44000). I got the 1.11 because of the percentage (0.11) plus the amount you need to do percentage increase (1). Then all you do is keep on going up till you hit the number you need (80,000) after about 7 years the total would have hit 80,000 and would have actually went past it (83046)
