The previous population was 14000.
Explanation
The population decreased by 35% since the last measurement. So the current population is less than the previous population.
current population=9100
previous population =x
current population is 35% less than the previous population x
The previous population was 14000.
There is no solution since 5 doesn't equal 45
Answer:
c is the answer
explination:
4*3 1/2=28/2
28/2 divided by 6 is equal to 7/3 or 2 1/3
Hello! So, this question is in the form of ax² - bx - c. First thingd first, let's multiply a and c together. c = -8 and a = 5. -8 * 5 is -40. Now, let's find two factors that have a product of 40, but a sum of 18. If you list the factors, you see that 2 and 20 have a product of 40, but 2 - 20 is -18. The factors we will use are -2 and 20.
How to factor it:
For this question, you can use something called a box method and factor it by finding a factor of each column and row. Just make 4 boxes and put 5x² on the top left and -40 on the bottom left box. Put 2x on the top right box and -20x on the bottom left box. Now, factor out for each row and column. The factors should be 5x + 2 for the top part and x - 4 for the side. It should look like (5x + 2)(x - 4). Let's check it. Solve it by using the FOIL method and you get 5x² - 20x + 2x - 8. Combine like terms and you get 5x² - 18x - 8. There. The answer is B: (5x + 2)(x - 4)
Note: The box method may be challenging at first, but it can be really helpful on problems like these.
So, in an easier way to say it
4 × 5 × -2
You would start by doing
4 × 5 = 20
Then,
20 × -2 = 40
So your answer is -40
