Since in 1990 there are 28%, we need to figure out when it gets to 31%. In addition, since it increases by 0.6% every year, we can say that 0.6x+28 (since 28 is the base value) is the percentage of babies born in wedlock every year. Therefore, to get 0.6x+28=31, we subtract 28 from both sides to get 0.6x=3
Dividing both sides by 0.6, we get x=5=the amount of years it takes to get 31% of babies born in wedlock. Since 1990 is the base value (we start from there!), we add 5 to that to get 1990+5=1995 as the yar

$4(k+5)=2(9k-4)\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\(4)(k)+(4)(5)=(2)(9k)+(2)(-4)\\\\4k+20=18k-8\qquad|\text{subtract 20 from both sides}\\\\4k=18k-28\qquad|\text{subtract 18k from both sides}\\\\-14k=-28\qquad|\text{divide both sides by -14}\\\\\boxed{k=2}\to\boxed{d.}$

If f(x) = 3x - 1 and g(x) = x + 2, find (f + g)(x).

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

4x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply f + g by x because f + g is in parenthesis:

f(x) + g(x)

Then implement equation #1 for f(x) into our equation:

3x - 1 + g(x)

Then implement the other equation for g(x) into our equation:

3x - 1 + x + 2

Then switch the positions of -1 and +x:

3x + x - 1 + 2

Simmplify:

4x + 1

Answer:

The equation of the line is $y = 3x + 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Looks like you've already found the y-intercept and slope of this graph. Great! That's all the info we need to create an equation.

The equation of a line is always in $y = kx+b$ form, where k is the constant of proportionality (aka the slope) and b is the constant added (aka the y-intercept).
