Answer: the population after 10 years is 12036

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^ t

Where

A represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

P = 14000

r = 1.5% = 1.5/100 = 0.015

t = 10 years

Therefore, the exponential decay equation to find the population of the town after 10 years is

A = 14000(1 - 0.015)^10

A = 14000(0.985)^10

A = 12036

What is the solution to the equation 3x-5=2x+8+x?
Marysya12 [62]
So when solving this you are going to have to solve the equation.
Okay so first thing we need to do is simplify both sides of your equation so:
3x−5=<span>2x+8+x
</span>Simplifying process:
<span><span><span>3x</span>+</span>−5</span>=<span><span><span>2x</span>+8</span>+<span>x
</span></span><span>Combine Like Terms </span>⇒ 3x−5=<span>(2x+x)+(8)
</span><span><span>3x</span>−5</span>=<span><span>3x</span>+<span>8
</span></span><span><span>3x</span>−5</span>=<span><span>3x</span>+<span>8
</span></span>Second thing we are now going to do is s<span>ubtract 3x from both sides<span> so:
</span></span><span><span><span>3x</span>−5</span>−<span>3x</span></span>=<span><span><span>3x</span>+8</span>−<span>3<span>x
</span></span></span><span>−5</span>=<span>8
</span>Final step is to add 5 to both sides:
−5+5=<span>8+5
</span>0=<span>13
</span>The answer to your question is "<span>There are no solutions"</span>

Answer:

D:  3(x + 5)(x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Try multiplying the last answer choice (D); the result is 3(x^2 + 10x + 25), or

3(x + 5)(x + 5).

What is the justification for each step in solving the inequality?
alekssr [168]
HELLO  ANNA!!

Given inequality
=> −2(x+1)≥3x+8
=>
- 2x - 2 \geqslant 3x + 8 \\ \\ add \: 2 \: in \: both \: sides \\ \\ - 2x \geqslant 3x + 10 \\ \\ subtract \: with \: - 3x \: in \: both \: sides \: \\ \\ - 5x \geqslant 10 \\

now multiply with - on both sides.

As we know now sign will change
=> 5x >_ -10

Now divide by 5 on both sides
=> x >_ -2
