Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Nick's age = x years

Lina's age =3*x = 3x

After 6 years,

Lina's age = 3x + 6

Nick's age = x + 6

3x + 6 = 2*(x+6)

3x + 6 = 2*x + 2*6

3x + 6 = 2x + 12      {Subtract 6 form both sides}

3x +6 - 6 = 2x + 12 - 6

3x  = 2x + 6    {subtract 2x from both sides}

3x - 2x = 2x + 6 - 2x

x = 6

Nick's age = 6 years

Lina's age =3*6 = 18 years

The area of the rectangle:
A = Length x Width = JK x KL = 36 cm²
If JK ≥ 4 cm, we have to prove that KL ≤ 9 cm.
Answer:
Assume that a. KL > 9 cm.
Then the area of rectangle JKLM is greater than b. 36 cm²,
which contradicts the given information that c. side is at least 4 cm long.
So the assumption must be false. Therefore, d. KL ≤ 9 cm.

= 19,100 x (1 + 14.8%)

= 21,926.8

= 21,927 people

In conclusion, there will be 21,927 people in 2016.
