So x is John's age.
We can solve this problem by working backwards.
Since it's 5 times his age, we first do 5x.
And then since it's five less, we move on to 5x - 5
And then we add the John's age is increased by 11: 5x - 5 = x + 11
I hope this helped :)
(It should be the second one you listed)

Suppose the population of a certain city is 5769 . It is expected to decrease to 4963 in 50 years. Find the percent decrease.
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

≈ 13.98%

Step-by-step explanation:

As the total population is 5769 in the initial period, you must find the percentage that repesents 4963 that is the expected population.

4963/5769=0.8602

Then you multiply it by 100 to transform it into percentage

0.8602*100=86.02%

Then it's just necesary to subtract that from 100% and that numbers is the percentage of decrease

100% - 86.02% = 13.98%

Also you can say that is approximately  14%

A fourth degree polynomial equation is shown below.
natita [175]
<span> 4x^2-8x-12 =
(x -3) * (x +1)

4x^2-24x+32
</span><span>(x -4) * (x -2)

</span>Factored Form
(x -3) * (x +1) * <span>(x -4) * (x -2) = 0

x = 3
x = -1
x = 4
x = 2

All four roots are real numbers and so the graph crosses the x-axis four times.  The graph of the equation would resemble a "W".
