Answer:
The answer is 18 feet squared
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first grid more squares are shaded than in the 2nd grid.
I would start by saying how much I enjoyed this lesson and how it has helped me in many ways I would also like to state how it was difficult at first but once I started to understand it, it became really easy and would like to thanks the teacher for teaching it.
This is an exponential function.
The starting population is: 10,000 and it doubles every 14 years.
In 42 years ( 42 : 14 = 3 ) the population doubles 3 times.
The equation ( exponential ) is :
y = 10,000 * 2^n
In this case: n = 3
y = 10,000 * 2 ^3 = 10,000 * 8 = 80,000
Answer: In 42 years the population of this town will be 80,000.
1. the answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer.
2. once again, create an equation. let's call team 1 x and team 2 y. team one has 1/4th as many as team 2, so that would be x=1/4y. An easier way to write that is 4x=y. after 6 people quit team two, that would be y-6. after the transfer, that would be y-6-12, and x+12 for the teams. they are equal after these, so y-6-12=x+12. solve this equation to get y-18= x+12. if you recall earlier, y was 4 times x, so substitute that into y to get 4x-18=x+12. Solve the equation to get 10 people on team one originally. your final answer is 10 people.
