Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation to remember:
where t = time
= 1200 since that's the initial population
= .35 rate of change \\
= 5 years
Plug in the numbers;
Since the prompt looks like it's asking for an equation given any number of years.. then just change 5 to n for number of years.
Equation at the end of step1: (7x + 18) (4) - 4x = 0 2 STEP2:Equation at the end of step 2 2 • (7x + 18) - 4x = 0 STEP3:STEP4:Pulling out like terms
4.1 Pull out like factors :
10x + 36 = 2 • (5x + 18)
Equation at the end of step4: 2 • (5x + 18) = 0 STEP5:Equations which are never true:
5.1 Solve : 2 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
5.2 Solve : 5x+18 = 0
Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation :
5x = -18
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = -18/5 = -3.600
