Canton: 7,720 and increases at a rate of 80 people per year.
Holly Spring: 3,200 and increases at rate of 120 people per year.
Let x be the number of years.
Canton = 7,720 + 80x
Holly Spring = 3,200 + 120x
7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
80x - 120x = 3,200 - 7720
-40x = -4520
x = -4520 / -40
x = 113
It would take 113 years before the populations are equal.
7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
7,720 + 80(113) = 3,200 + 120(113)
7,720 + 9,040 = 3,200 + 13,560
16,760 = 16,760
The most right answer would be the one you think because I think that’s right 4x4
Answer:
x ≈ 14.57
Step-by-step explanation:
using the sine ratio in the right triangle
sin59° = 
= 
( multiply both sides by 17 )
17 × sin59° = x , then
x ≈ 14.57 ( to 2 dec. places )
