X + 6.38 = 15.75<span> would be the answer
x=9.37
for the first option, you are not adding 15.75 and x together.
for the second option, it is correct, because in the problem, it is giving the operation, 15.75-6.38=x. when you turn it do inverse operation, you get </span><span>x + 6.38 = 15.75.
for the third option, it doesn't make sense and it's not doing what the problem is asking for.
for the fourth option, you are not multiplying. you are subtracting </span>15.75 by<span> 6.38 to get x.</span>
5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
-15 -15 subtract 15 from each side
5(2x - 8) = -30
÷5 ÷5 divide both sides by 5
2x - 8 = -6
+8 +8 add 8 to each side
2x=2
÷2 ÷2 divide both sides by 3
x = 1
Checking:
5(2(1)-8) + 15 = -15
5(-6) + 15 = -15
-30 + 15 = -15
-15 = -15 Correct! x=1
Answer:
2 bears in 2020.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a new bear population that begins with 150 bears in 2000 decreases at a rate of 20% per year.
We will use exponential decay formula to solve our given problem as:
, where,
y = Final quantity,
a = Initial value,
r = Decay rate in decimal form,
x = Time
Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:
, where x corresponds to year 2000.
To find the population in 2020, we will substitute 
in our equation as:
Therefore, 2 bears are there predicted to be in 2020.
Since population is decreasing so population is best described as exponential decay.
Well, first, you need to add up the amount of ten fridges and ten pianos. than you see if its heavier or lighter... > or <....... do you remember how to graph?
