To solve this, we’ll first need to set it as a system of equations.

First, let’s let
x = No. of $32 books purchased.
y = No. of $44 books purchased.

We know that 54 books were sold in total and they the total cost of the books sold were 1968. Using this information we can come up with two equations.

x + y = 54
32x + 44y = 1968

We will solve this system by the substitution method. Solve the first equation for y.

y = -x + 54

Substitute this for y in your second equation.

32x + 44(-x + 54) = 1968

Distribute and add like terms.

-12x + 2376 = 1968

Solve for x.

x = 34.

Your answer should be: 34 $32 books were purchased.

Tacoma's population in 2000 was about 200 thousand, and has been growing by about 8% each year. If this continues, what will Tac
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Tacoma's population in 2014 will be 587,439 people

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential growth function  is given by the formula

y=a(1+r)^x

where

y is Tacoma's population in thousand

x is the number of years since 2000

r is the rate of change

a is the initial value

we have

a=200\\r=8\%=8/100=0.08

substitute

y=200(1+0.08)^x

y=200(1.08)^x

what will Tacoma's population be in 2014?

Find the value of x

x=2014-2000=14\ years

substitute the value of x

y=200(1.08)^{14}=587.439\ thousand

therefore

Tacoma's population in 2014 will be 587,439 people
