Answer:

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x  be number of years the populations be equal

City A's population of 1115000 is decreasing at a rate of 15000 per year.

The population is decreasing at a constant rate so we use equation

y= mx + b

where m is the slope(rate), b is the initial population

m= -15000 (decreasing) , b= 1115000

y= -15000 x + 1115000

City B's population of 698000 is increasing at a rate of 45000 per year.

m= 45000 (increasing) , b= 698000

y= 45000 x + 698000

Now we set the equations equal and solve for x

45000 x + 698000 = -15000 x + 1115000

Add 15000 on both sides

60000 x + 698000 = 1115000

Subtract 689000 on both sides

60000 x = 417000

Divide by 60000 on both sides

x= 6.95

So after 7 years the population will be equal.

What is the final amount if 975 is increased by 1% followed by a further 9% increase?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

1073.38

Step-by-step explanation:

A plumbers plastic pipe is 4 m long, has an inside diameter of 4.0 cm and an outside diameter of 5.0cm. What is the volume of th
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: V=0.0028278\ m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of the pipe l=4\ m

Inside diameter of the pipe d_i=4\ cm

Outside diameter of the pipe d_o=5\ cm

Volume of the pipe

\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{\pi }{4}[d_o^2-d_i^2]\\\\\text{Insert the values}\\\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{\pi}{4}[5^2-4^2]\times 10^{-4}\times 4\\\\\Rightarrow V=28.278\times 10^{-4}\ m^3\\\\\Rightarrow V=0.0028278\ m^3

Does the point (–9, 8) satisfy the equation y = –x + 1?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

1. 3x+3y=9 since it is a coinciding line.It is equivalent because all the terms are multiplied by 3 from the original equation.

2. x-4=3x+4

x=3x+8

-2x=8

x=-4

y=-4-4

y=-8

please mark me brainlyest <i cant spell it i think i spelled it wrong lol >
