Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following word problem which we can solve by breaking it down into parts and translating it into numerical values:

Fourteen more than three times a number is 2.

1. Fourteen more than ---> + 14

2. three times a number ---> 3x (assuming the number to be x)

3. is 2 ---> = 2

So combining these, we get:

3x + 14 = 2

Solving this to get:

3x = 2 - 14

3x = -12

x = -12/3

x = -4

It is estimated that the population of the world is increasing at an average rate of 1.09%. The population was about 7,632,819,3

morpeh [17]

Answer:

The equation that represents the population after T years is

$P_{t} = 7,632,819,325 [1 +\frac{1.09}{100} ]^{T}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Population in the year 2018 ( P )= 7,632,819,325

Rate of increase R = 1.09 %

The population after T years is given by the formula

$P_{t} = P [1 +\frac{R}{100} ]^{T}$ -------- (1)

Where P = population in 2018

R = rate of increase

T = time period

Put the values of P & R in above equation we get

$P_{t} = 7,632,819,325 [1 +\frac{1.09}{100} ]^{T}$

This is the equation that represents the population after T years.

olganol [36]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

8x = - 4(x + 3)

8x = -4x - 12

+4x +4x

12x = -12

12 12
