50 wells drilled are 25% of the total wells. Therefore, 1% (which is one twenty-fifth of 25%) of the wells is:
50 wells /25= 2 wells.

2 wells are 1% of the total wells. Therefore, 100% (which is 100 times as much as 1%) of the wells are:
2 wells *100= 200 wells.

Conclusion: The total number of wells that were drilled is 200 wells.

Hope this would help~

25% is equal to 100/25=1/4

We can substitute this into an equation to get the total number of wells where n can be equal to the total number of wells.

1/4*n=50
n/4=50
n=50*4
n=200

The total number of wells that were drilled was 200.

The population of Farmersville can be modeled by the inequality y > 2,000x + 2,100, where x is the number of years since 2010

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The population can be greater than 6,100 but less than 6,300, and thus, we cannot determine if the population of Farmersville will be greater than 6,300 in 2012.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequality for the population of Farmsville:

The inequality for the population of Farmsville in x years after 2010 is given by:

$y(x) > 2000x + 2100$

Will the population of Farmersville be greater than 6,300 in 2012?

2012 is 2012-2010 = 2 years after 2010, so we have to find y(2).

$y(2) > 2000(2) + 2100$

$y(2) > 6100$

The population can be greater than 6,100 but less than 6,300, and thus, we cannot determine if the population of Farmersville will be greater than 6,300 in 2012.

The points J(-1,-9) and K(5,1) are endpoints of a diameter of circle S. Which equation represents circle S? A. (x − 2)2 + (y + 4

Andrew [12]

Answer:

the equation of the circle is

$(x-2)^2+(y+4)^2 = 34$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the equation of a circle is given by $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2$ where r is the radius, and (h,k) is the center. Recall that given two points that are the endpoints of a diameter, the center of the circle is their correspondent midpoint. Also, recall that given points (a,b), (c,d) their midpoint is obtained by $(\frac{a+c}{2},\frac{b+d}{2})$

In this case we are given the endpoints (-1,-9), (5,1). So the center of the circle is the midpoint obtained by $(\frac{-1+5}{2},\frac{-9+1}{2}) = (2, -4)$ . Recall that the radius of a circle is the distance from the radius to any of the points of the circle. So, the radius is the distance between the center and the point (-1,-9). We will calculate r^2, by using the distance formula. REcall that the distance between points (a,b), (c,d) is given by
