What is the answer to 5x-2=8

2 answers:

5 0

1. You need to get 5x on one side all by itself. So, you need to add 2 to the other side to undo the subtraction

$5x = 8 + 2$

$5x = 10$

2. Divide both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{10}{5}$

$x = 2$

This would be exponential growth
A= 500,000(1+.0625)^10
=500,000(1.0625)^10
=500,000* 1.83353577126
the population after 10 years= 916,767
A=500,000(1+.0625)^20
=500,000(1.0625)^20
=500,000* 3.36185342451
the population after 20 years would be= 1,680,926
