Answer:

The equation used to predict the number of people living in the town after x years is y = 32,000 (1.08)x

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Initial population: 32,000 </em>
  • <em>Growth per year: 8% </em>
  • <em>Years: x </em>

So, to obtain "y" (the number of people living in the town after x years), we have to multiply the initial population by 1+ 0.08 (the growth rate is 8%/100=0.08 and the original value) and the number of years (x).

Mathematically speaking:

y = 32,000 (1+0.08) x

y= 32,000 (1.08) x

The equation used to predict the number of people living in the town after x years is y = 32,000 (1.08)x

Answer:

<1=28, <2=62

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the large triangle is 180 and there is a smaller triangle that is also 180. You are also provided an angle is 90 and another is 62.

90+62=152.

180-152=28. So, angle 1=28.

28+90=118.

180-118=62

2(5m-8)+3(m+2)=12+4(2m-1)
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

2(5m-8)+3(m+2)=12+4(2m-1)

10m - 16 + 3m + 6 = 12 + 8m -4

13m - 10 = 8 + 8m

13m = 18 + 8m

5m = 18

m = 3.6
