Hello!
2(x + 9) = 4(x + 7) + 2
Distribute the 2
2x + 18 = 4(x + 7) + 2
Distribute the 4
2x + 18 = 4x + 28 + 2
Combine like terms
2x + 18 = 4x + 30
Subtract 18 from both sides
2x = 4x + 12
Subtract 4x from both sides
-2x = 12
Divide both sides by -2
x = -6
Where she did something different than me is her mistake
Hope this helps!
Answer:
B) 3
Step-by-step explanation:
add 5 to both sides, 4x=12
divide both sides by 4, x=3
Answer:
A and B are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
if x:y is 1:3 then x is 1 and y is 3
1/3 of 3 is 1 so A is correct
3/4(1+3) is 3 so B is correct
But
1/4 × 3 is not 1 so C is not correct
3/4 ×1 is not 3 so D isn't correct
Answer:
100
Step-by-step explanation:
The population is changing linearly. This means that the population is increasing by a particular value n every year.
From 2009 to 2017, there are 8 increases and so, the population increases by 8n.
The population increased from 1700 to 2500. Therefore, the population increase is:
2500 - 1700 = 800
This implies that:
8n = 800
=> n = 800/8 = 100
The average population growth per year is 100.
