5x - 2 equivalent to to 2x−2+3x
answer is B. 2x−2+3x
The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.
Answer: Multiplying the number by 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Jay took a number, n, and increased it by 25%. The value gotten will be:
= n + (25% × n)
= n + (0.25 × n)
= n + 0.25n
= 1.25n
After that, Then, he doubled the resulting product. The value now gotten will be:
= 2 × 1.25n
= 2.50n
Therefore, the equivalent will be multiplying the number by 2.5. This will be:
= n × 2.5
= 2.5n
Therefore, it's thesame with the value gotten.
The correct option is D.
The population of the town in 1960 is 48.80 thousands
<h3>How to determine the population in 1950?</h3>
The equation of the model is given as:
f(t) = 42e^(0.015t)
1960 is 10 years after 1950.
This means that:
t = 10
Substitute t = 10 in f(t) = 42e^(0.015t)
f(10) = 42e^(0.015 * 10)
Evaluate
f(10) = 48.80
Hence, the population of the town in 1960 is 48.80 thousands
