Answer:

-60

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase in population is given by positive sign

Change in population in 5 years = -300

Decrease in population is represented by negative sign

Change in population in 1 year = -300\5

                                                 = -60

Town's population faces a decrease of 60 residents each year.

Using proportions, the selling prices are given as follows:

1. $46.92.

2. $15.29.

3. $17.16.

4. $20,280.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

To find the selling prices, we have to multiply the original prices by either 1.02(2% sales tax) or 1.04(4% sales tax), hence they are given as follows:

  • 1. 46 x 1.02 = $46.92.
  • 2. 14.99 x 1.02 = $15.29.
  • 3. 16.50 x 1.04 = $17.16.
  • 4. 19500 x 1.04 = $20,280.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

500 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Carmen saved 592 pennies.

Her sister saved 128 pennies.

Together, they put 250 pennies in wrappers and took them to the bank

We need to find out the total number of pennies Carmen and her sister have left

So,

= 592 pennies + 128 pennies  - 250 pennies

= 470 pennies

= 500 pennies

ALEGBRA 1 ! help. me. please. this. is. so. hard. i dont. understand it.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Part a) to find the maximum height of the snowball, you have to differentiate the function. Therefore you get ----> dh/dt= -32x-8 . Now equate this to zero and solve for x. x= (-1)/4 now sub this value in to find h(x) [note: i'm talking about the original function] . I got h max = h((-1)/4) = 9 which is the max height.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not too sure about the other questions. Sorry

Answer:

A. Solutions are: x = 2, y = 1.

B. Solutions are: x = 3, y = 2.

C.

1. Inconsistent

2. Inconsistent

3. Consistent

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Solutions of each system of linear equations by substitution method:

Equation 1:      3x - 2y = 4

Equation 2:               x = 2y

<u>Step 1:</u> Substitute x = 2y into the Equation 1:

3(2y) - 2y = 4

6y - 2y = 4

4y = 4

Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate y:

\frac{4y}{4}  = \frac{4}{4}

y = 1.

<u>Step 3:</u> For Equation 2, x = 2y, substitute y = 1 into the equation to solve for x:

x = 2y  

x = 2(1)

x = 2  

Therefore, the solutions are:  x = 2, y = 1.

B. Find the solutions of each system of linear equations by elimination method:  

Equation 1:      2x + y = 8

Equation 2:        x + y = 5

<u>Step 1:</u> Multiply Equation 2 by 2:  

2(x + y) =  5(2)

2x + 2y = 10

<u>Step 2:</u> Subtract Equation 1 from the equation derived from Step 1,  2x + 2y = 10:

   2x + 2y = 10

-  <u>2x +  y  =   8</u>

        y =   2

Step 3: Plug in y =  2 into Equation 1, 2x + y = 8 to solve for x:

2x + y = 8

2x + (2) = 8

<u>Step 4:</u> subtract both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate x:

2x + 2 - 2 = 8 - 2

2x = 6

<u>Step 5:</u> Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:

\frac{2x}{2}  = \frac{6}{2}

x = 3.

The solutions are: x = 3, y = 2.

C:

1. Inconsistent

2. Inconsistent  

3. Consistent (infinitely many solutions)
