A. Every month Population will increase by a factor of 0.84%.

B. Every 3 months Population will increase by a factor of 2.5%.

C. Increase in population in every 20 months is 10% + 6.72% = 16.72%.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here, we have number of employees in a company has been growing exponentially by 10% each year. So , If we have population as x in year 2019 , an increase of 10% in population in 2020 as $x + \frac{x}{100}\times10$ which is equivalent to $\frac{11x}{10}$ .

<u>A.</u>

For each month: We have 12 months in a year and so, distributing 10% in 12 months would be like $\frac{10}{12} = 0.84$ . ∴ Every month Population will increase by a factor of 0.84%.

<u>B.</u>

In every 3 months: We have , 12 months in a year , in order to check for every 3 months $\frac{12}{3} = 4$ and Now, Population increase in every 3 months is $\frac{10}{4} = 2.5$ . ∴ Every 3 months Population will increase by a factor of 2.5%.

<u>C.</u>

In every 20 months: We have , 12 months in a year in which increase in population is 10% . Left number of moths for which we have to calculate factor of increase in population is 20-12 = 8. For 1 month , there is 0.84% increase in population ∴ For 8 months , 8 × 0.84 = 6.72 %.

So , increase in population in every 20 months is 10% + 6.72% = 16.72%.

Solve: –x – 7 = –2x – 11

Ivan

<span>Simplifying (7 + -2x)(11 + -2x)(x) = 0 Reorder the terms for easier multiplication: x(7 + -2x)(11 + -2x) = 0 Multiply (7 + -2x) * (11 + -2x) x(7(11 + -2x) + -2x * (11 + -2x)) = 0 x((11 * 7 + -2x * 7) + -2x * (11 + -2x)) = 0 x((77 + -14x) + -2x * (11 + -2x)) = 0 x(77 + -14x + (11 * -2x + -2x * -2x)) = 0 x(77 + -14x + (-22x + 4x2)) = 0 Combine like terms: -14x + -22x = -36x x(77 + -36x + 4x2) = 0 (77 * x + -36x * x + 4x2 * x) = 0 (77x + -36x2 + 4x3) = 0 Solving 77x + -36x2 + 4x3 = 0 Solving for variable 'x'. Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'x'. x(77 + -36x + 4x2) = 0 Factor a trinomial. x((7 + -2x)(11 + -2x)) = 0 </span>

Simplify this question

vladimir1956 [14]

$\frac{8 - \sqrt{ - 36} }{2} \\ = \frac{8 - \sqrt{ 2 \times \: 2 \times 3 \times - 3} }{2} \\ = \frac{8 -2 \sqrt{ - 9} }{2} \\ = \frac{2(4 - \sqrt{ - 9} )}{2} \\ = 4 - \sqrt{ - 9}$

Hope you could get an idea from here.

A company has decreased the weight of its boxes of macaroni by 7%. If the new weight of the box is 13.5 ounces, what was the ori

igor_vitrenko [27]

8%=0.08 and 100%=1 (100% represents the original weight in percentaje)
If x is the weight you can express: 1x-0.08x=15.1
solve for x: 0.92x=15.1
x= 15.1/0.92=16.1
The original weight was 16.41 ounces
