When 4 times a number is increased by 40, the answer is the same as when 100 is decreased by the number. find the number?

1 answer:

8 0

The number is x

4x+40=100-x
add x to both sides
5x+40=100
minus 40 both sides
5x=60
divide both sides by 5
x=12
the number is 12

Answer:

Correct choice is B

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential regression model can be written as exponential function

$y=a\cdot b^x.$

Then

$5,000=a\cdot b^0=a,\\ \\5,510=a\cdot b^2\Rightarrow 5,510=5,000\cdot b^2,\\ \\b^2=\dfrac{5,510}{5,000}=\dfrac{551}{500}\Rightarrow b\approx 1.05.$

Thus,

$y=5,000\cdot (1.05)^x.$

When $x=12,$ you get

$y(12)=5,000\cdot (1.05)^{12}\approx \$8,980.$
