The situation can be modeled by a geometric sequence with an initial term of 284. The student population will be 104% of the prior year, so the common ratio is 1.04.
Let \displaystyle PP be the student population and \displaystyle nn be the number of years after 2013. Using the explicit formula for a geometric sequence we get
{P}_{n} =284\cdot {1.04}^{n}P
n
=284⋅1.04
n
We can find the number of years since 2013 by subtracting.
\displaystyle 2020 - 2013=72020−2013=7
We are looking for the population after 7 years. We can substitute 7 for \displaystyle nn to estimate the population in 2020.
\displaystyle {P}_{7}=284\cdot {1.04}^{7}\approx 374P
7
=284⋅1.04
7
≈374
The student population will be about 374 in 2020.
Answer:
x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
4 - (x + 1) = 6
- (x + 1) = 6 - 4
-x - 1 = 6 - 4
-x - 1 = 2
- x = 2 + 1
- x = 3
x = - 3

If correct brainley please
Thank you
Answer:
9x/4= -9
Mutiply by 4 for both sides.
4(9x/4) cross out 4 and 4, divide by 4 and then becomes 9x. (-9)(4)= -36
9x= -36
Divide by 9 for both sides
9x/9= -36/9
x= -4
