The first thing you should do is solve the equation yourself.
1) Distribute the 2.
6x + 4 = 2x – 16
2) Next, you'll want to get the x's on one side. So add -2x to both sides.
6x + 4 + -2x = 2x + -2x - 16
4x + 4 = -16
3) Now subtract 4 from both sides
4x + 4 – 4 = -16 – 4
4x = -12
4) Finally, divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -12/4
x = –3
To solve this problem all you need to do is look back out you work, and figure out the correct solution. The answer the question is The student made an error in Step 1.
Answer:
The population of the town in the year 1962 will be 1730.
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of Smallville can be found by the equation
, where P(t) is the population at time t, r represents the rate of growth, and I is the initial population.
Now, if there are 225 residents in 1950 and the population of the town grows at a rate of 17% per year, then the population of the town in the year 1962 will be
(Approximate)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
46+x=77 subtract 46 from both sides
x=31
Number 1 = 17
number 2 = 72
number 3 = 24
work:
the three numbers are symbolized as x, y, and z
x + y + z = 113
number 2 (y) is 3 times the third number (z) so
y = 3z
so x + 3z + z = 113
the first number (x) is 7 less than than the third number (z) so
x = z - 7
so z -7 + 3z + z = 113
5z - 7 = 113
5z = 120
z = 24
x = 17
y = 72
Hope this helped :)
