Answer:

solution,

The population is reduced from 3000 to 2509 in the ratio 5:y

 $\frac{2500}{3000} = \frac{5}{y} \\ or \: 2500y = 15000 \\ or \: y = \frac{15000}{2500} \\ y = 6$ 

Hence,the ratio is 5:6.

hope this helps ....

Good luck on your assignment..

The equation y = 5.50x represents the cost y (in dollars) for x visits to the

mr Goodwill [35]

In Graph x-axis represents number of visits and y-axis represents cost.

As graph comes up to be a linear one, so we can clearly say that cost is increasing linearly in multiples of 5.5 with increase in number of visits.

Example :

If museum is visited once then cost (y) = 5.5 x 1 = 5.5

If museum is visited twice then cost (y) = 5.5 x 2 = 11

If museum is visited thrice then cost (y) = 5.5 x 3 = 16.5

... cost (y) goes on in creasing when number of visits (x) increase with multiples of 5.5

Elevate 6 x when x equals 10

Vinvika [58]

6x

x=10

So replace "x" in 6x with 10 and you get,

6(10)

It can be seen as

6 x 10

and 6 x 10 is 60.

So your answer would be 6x = 6(10) = 60
