Answer:
a=7.85-1/2^b
Step-by-step explanation:
2a=15.7-b Move variable to the right side and change its sign
2a=15.7-b Divide both sides of the equation by 2
a=7.85-1/2^b The final solution for a is
Answer:
Equation: 8=4b
b=2
Explanation:
The green line equals 8 and the black time equals 2b+2b. So to form an equation where the green line equals the black line it would look like: 8=2b+2b
8 being the green line
2b+2b being the black line
Then the directions tell us to combine like terms, like terms are terms that are the same such as 2b in this problem, and to combine them means to add them together.
So, 2b+2b= 4b
So the answer is, 8= 4b
In order to solve this equation divide both sides by 4.
Which leaves you with: 8/4= b
Now solve 8/4:
Which gives you:
b=2
42,600 - 25,800 = 16800. That is the increase in 15 years.
You then calculate the increase as a percentage of the original population; 25,800.
16,800 / 25,800 * 100 = 65.11%
8.373 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 8.37 because you look at the thousandths place or to the right of 7 and you see that its lower than 5 so you round down giving you the answer of 8.73
Answer: 8.73
