Answer:

1429 people per square mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the town of Manchester (50,000) has the shape of a rectangle that is 5 miles wide and 7 miles long. We are asked to find the population density of Manchester.

\text{Population density}=\frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Area}}

Let us find area of Manchester by multiplying 5 and 7.

\text{Area of Manchester}=5\text{ miles}\times 7\text{ miles}

\text{Area of Manchester}=35\text{ miles}^2

\text{Population density of Manchester}=\frac{50,000\text{ people}}{35\text{ miles}^2}

\text{Population density of Manchester}=\frac{1428.57\text{ people}}{\text{ miles}^2}

\text{Population density of Manchester}\approx \frac{1429\text{ people}}{\text{ miles}^2}

Therefore, the population density is approximately 1429 people per square mile.

First calculate the area of the rectangle in square miles: 

A = L x w   5 x 7 = 35 square miles 

Now divided the number of people into the area:  50,000 / 35 = 1,428.57143 

Round to nearest whole number of people:  1,429 people per square mile.

To check: 1428.57143 * 35 = 50,000

(NEED DONE SOON) The measure of two supplementary angles are 4x - 24 and 4(2x - 3). <br> What is x
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of supplementary angles added together MUST equal 180. Therefore, as you are given two angles with the measures of (4x - 24) and 4(2x - 3), they must add together to equal 180. So, we get this equation:

(4x - 24) + 4(2x - 3) = 180

4x - 24 + 8x - 12 = 180 (we distributed 4(2x-3))

12x - 36 = 180

12x = 144

x = 12, -12

Therefore, x is 12 because -12 would mean that (4x-24) and 4(2x-3) are both negative, which is impossible for an angle measure.
