Production by Mexico is the same percentage (3%) of world production for the years of interest, so the relation is
... (mexico production) = 0.03 × (world production)
Then, dividing by 0.03, we get
... (mexico production)/0.03 = (world production)
The change in world production is the difference between the amounts for the two years, so is
... (production increase) = (2007 world production) - (2000 world production)
... = 24/0.03 - 18/0.03 = (24 - 18)/0.03
... = 6/0.03 = 200 . . . . million metric tons
The appropriate choice is (D) 200.
Answer:
x = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
-10x+1+7x=37
Combine like terms
-3x+1 = 37
Subtract 1 from each side
-3x+1-1 = 37-1
-3x = 36
Divide by -3
-3x/-3 = 36/-3
x = -12
Answer:
n is smaller, n + 1 is larger
Step-by-step explanation:
First, make the equation.
2(n + n+1) = 510
Then, simplify.
2(2n + 1) = 510
Distribute.
4n + 2 = 510
Solve.
n = 127
The smaller number is n (127) and the larger number is n + 1 (128).
