Answer:x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Regroup terms.

8x-2=7x-98x−2=7x−9

2 Subtract 7x7x from both sides.

8x-2-7x=-98x−2−7x=−9

3 Simplify 8x-2-7x8x−2−7x to x-2x−2.

x-2=-9x−2=−9

4 Add 22 to both sides.

x=-9+2x=−9+2

5 Simplify -9+2−9+2 to -7−7.

x=-7x=−7

Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 2 = -9 + 7x (add 2 to both sides)

8x - 2 + 2 = -9 + 7x + 2

8x = 7x - 7 (subtract 7x from both sides)

8x - 7x = 7x - 7 - 7x

x = - 7

Aaron has a loan of 1250£ He pays simple intrest 0.5% per month for eight months Calculate the total amount of interest Aaron pa

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: 50 Pounds

Explanation: First we need to find out how much 0.5% of 1250 is. 0.5% of 1250 is 6.25£. Since that’s per month, and Aaron pays interest for 8 months, we multiply by 8. So 6.25 times 8 is 50.

The fish population of Lake Collins is decreasing at a rate of 5% per year. In 2004 there were about 1,350 fish. Write an expone

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Part 1) The exponential function is equal to $y=1,350(0.95)^{x}$

Part 2) The population in 2010 was $992\ fish$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Write an exponential decay function that models this situation

we know that

In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

$y=a(b)^{x}$

where

y ----> the fish population of Lake Collins since 2004

x ----> the time in years

a is the initial value

b is the base

we have

$a=1,350\ fish$

$b=(100\%-5\%)=95\%=0.95$

substitute

$y=1,350(0.95)^{x}$ ----> exponential function that represent this scenario

Part 2) Find the population in 2010

we have

$y=1,350(0.95)^{x}$

For $x=(2010-2004)=6\ years$

substitute

$y=1,350(0.95)^{6}=992\ fish$
