In a given year, the population of Metro City is 7420, and the population is decreasing by 152 people per year. The population o

f Smallville is consistently 1200 less than half of Metro City. Determine how long it will take for Smallville's population to reach 2282.
Which answer provides the correct equation and solution for the situation, where x represents the number of years?


A. The equation is 2282=2(7420−152x)+1200. It will take 45.26 years for the population of Smallville to be 2282 people.

B. The equation is 2282=2(7420−152x)+1200. It will take 45.26 months for the population of Smallville to be 2282 people.

C.The equation is 2282=12(7420−152x)−1200. It will take 3 months for the population of Smallville to be 2282 people.

D. The equation is 2282=12(7420−152x)−1200. It will take 3 years for the population of Smallville to be 2282 people.

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>x</em> denote the years.

The information provided is:

  • The population of Metro City is 7420.
  • The population is decreasing by 152 people per year.
  • The population of Smallville is consistently 1200 less than half of Metro City.

From the provided data derive the equation for the population of Smallville <em>x</em> years after as follows:

Y = [\frac{1}{2}\cdot (7420-152x)]-1200

The population of Smallville is 2282 after <em>x</em> years.

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

2282= [\frac{1}{2}\cdot (7420-152x)]-1200

\frac{7420-152x}{2}=2282+1200\\\\7420-152x=3482\times 2\\\\152x=7420-6964\\\\152x=456\\\\x=3

Thus, the time it will take for Smallville's population to reach 2282 is 3 years.

The correct option is D.

Which expression is equivalent to 7/10-2/10
ki77a [65]

Solution:

we have been asked to find

The expression is equivalent to 7/10-2/10

we can simplify the given expression as below

\frac{7}{10}-\frac{2}{10}=\frac{7-2}{10}\\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{7}{10}-\frac{2}{10}=\frac{5}{10}\\ \\ \text{Simplify we get}\\ \\ \frac{7}{10}-\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{2}\\

Hence the simplified expression , equaivalent to the given expression is 1/2.

If h(-8), find 1/3*h(x) = x^2-5x+7
Lynna [10]

The value is 333

<h3>How to determine the function</h3>

From the information given, we have:

  • x = - 8
  • 1/3*h(x) = x^2-5x+7

Now, let's substitute the value of 'x' in the function:

1/3*h(x) = x^2-5x+7

1/ 3 × h(-8) = ( - 8)² - 5 ( -8) + 7

Make 'h ( -8)' the subject of formula

h ( -8) = \frac{( -8)^2 - 5(-8) + 7}{1/ 3}

h ( -8) = \frac{64 + 40+ 7 }{1/ 3}

Take the sum of the numerator

h ( -8) = \frac{111}{1/3}

Take the inverse of the denominator and multiply

h ( -8) = 111 × 3/ 1

h ( -8) = 333

We can see that through the substitute of the value of x as - 8, we get 333

Thus, the value is 333

Xerxes is selling cups of lemonade. He is selling regular and pink lemonade in 3 sizes: small, medium, and large. The table disp
raketka [301]

Part 1

Add up the values in the table: 90+36+54+45+63+72 = 360

This means 360 total drinks were sold. Of that total, 54 were medium regular.

The percentage of medium regular is 54/360 = 0.15 = 15%

Apply this percentage to the 640 customers he plans to sell to

15% of 640 = 0.15*640 = 96

<h3>Answer: 96</h3>

============================================

Part 2

It sounds like your teacher wants you to find the probability of picking pink lemonade. The table says that 36 small, 45 medium, and 72 large pink lemonades were sold. That means 36+45+72 = 153 pink lemonades were sold out of the 360 total

153/360 = 0.425

Then go through each answer choice to note that 17/40 = 0.425 as well

Therefore, 153/360 = 17/40

Answer: 17/40
