Answer:

x =20

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve

$240         320

----------- = ------------

15                x

Using cross products

240x = 320 * 15

240x =4800

Divide by 240 on each side

240x/240 = 4800/240

x =20

You are going to visit your aunt who lives 25 miles away . You have already traveled 7.7 miles. What percentage of the trip is s
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

30.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, set up an equation. 7.7/25 = x/100. This is because 7.7 miles out of 100 is equal to some percentage of 100. Then, solve by simplifying both sides and isolating the variable of x.

If I helped you, please mark brainliest! It would mean a lot! :)

Parabolas in geometry. i need help please
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

OPtion B

Step by step explanation:

Lets plug in a random value for x.

Lets say 5 is x

-8(-5-5)=(y+1)^2

5-5 = 0

-8(0) = 0

0 = (y+1)^2

Square root of both sides

0 = y+1

subtract one from both sides

-1 = y

that means the x is 5 and the y is -1. Option B illustrates exactly that!

Solve the equation 3x + 4y = 16 for x.
Neko [114]

Answer:

3x + 4y = 16  The rule is you can do any valid operation on both sides of an equation and it will still be equal. Subtract 4y.

3x = -4y + 16  Divide by 3.

x = -4y/3 + 16/3  Answer B.

Biologists stocked a lake with 80 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

P(t) = \frac{160000e^{1.36t}}{2000 + 80(e^{1.36t} - 1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The logistic equation is the following one:

P(t) = \frac{KP(0)e^{rt}}{K + P(0)(e^{rt} - 1)}

In which P(t) is the size of the population after t years, K is the carrying capacity of the population, r is the decimal growth rate of the population and P(0) is the initial population of the lake.

In this problem, we have that:

Biologists stocked a lake with 80 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species in that lake) to be 2,000. This means that P(0) = 80, K = 2000.

The number of fish tripled in the first year. This means that P(1) = 3P(0) = 3(80) = 240.

Using the equation for P(1), that is, P(t) when t = 1, we find the value of r.

P(t) = \frac{KP(0)e^{rt}}{K + P(0)(e^{rt} - 1)}

240 = \frac{2000*80e^{r}}{2000 + 80(e^{r} - 1)}

280*(2000 + 80(e^{r} - 1)) = 160000e^{r}

280*(2000 + 80e^{r} - 80) = 160000e^{r}

280*(1920 + 80e^{r}) = 160000e^{r}

537600 + 22400e^{r} = 160000e^{r}

137600e^{r} = 537600

e^{r} = \frac{537600}{137600}

e^{r} = 3.91

Applying ln to both sides.

\ln{e^{r}} = \ln{3.91}

r = 1.36

This means that the expression for the size of the population after t years is:

P(t) = \frac{160000e^{1.36t}}{2000 + 80(e^{1.36t} - 1)}

What is the value of x<br> 2x+3y=45 <br> x+y=10
Volgvan
Assuming this is a system of equations, here is how to find x. 

2x + 3y = 45
x + y = 10 

Multiply x + y = 10 by 2 so you are able to use the elimination method.

2x + 3y = 45
2x + 2y = 20

Subtract.

y = 25

Now that we've found y, we can plug it in to find x. 

x + 25 = 10

Subtract 25 from both sides.

x = -15
