Let's say there were "x" in 1996, therefore, "x" is the 100%.

10 years later, there are 12440, and that is 1126% "more" than "x", since "x" is 100%, 1126% more than that is 100% + 1126%, or 1226%.

so, 12440 is really 1226% of whatever "x" happened to have been back then in 1996.

now, since we know that 12440 is 1226%, what is "x" then?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
x&100\\
12440&1226
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{12440}=\cfrac{100}{1226}\implies x=\cfrac{12440\cdot 100}{1226}

Write the equation in standard form for the circle with center (0, -6) and radius 7.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of circle is given by

(x - h) {}^{2} + (y - k) {}^{2}  =  {r}^{2}  \\ (x - 0) {}^{2}  +  {(y + 6)}^{2}  =  {7}^{2}  \\  {x }^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  + 12y + 36 = 49 \\  {x  }^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  + 12y = 13

Solve. 3(x-6)-2(2x+3)=14
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

x=-38

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x−6)−2(2x+3)=14

(3)(x)+(3)(−6)+(−2)(2x)+(−2)(3)=14(Distribute)

3x+−18+−4x+−6=14

(3x+−4x)+(−18+−6)=14(Combine Like Terms)

−x+−24=14

−x−24=14

Step 2: Add 24 to both sides.

−x−24+24=14+24

−x=38

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−x

−1

=

38

−1

x=−38
