Answer:

X=-10 y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) in first equation subtract 2y on both sides

X=4-2y

Substitute as "x" in the second equation:

-4(4-2y)-7y=-9

-16+8y-7y=-9

-16+y=-9

Y=7

Substitute y as 7 to get x)

X=4-2(7)

X=4-14

X=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x + 2y = 4

x = 4 - 2y.......... equation 1

-4x -7y = - 9.......equation 2

Putting equation 1 in equation 2 

- 4 ( 4 - 2y) - 7y = - 9

-16 + 8y - 7y = -9

y = - 9 + 16

y = 7

Now 

x = 4 - 2* 7 = 8 - 7 = 1 

hope this helps.

Tresset [83]

Answer: y=17-5x/-9

Step-by-step explanation: 5x-9y=17

-9y=17-5x

Y=17-5x/-9

You can’t go any further than that because you can’t combine unlike Terms on the right side of the equation.

solong [7]

Answer:

a) $P(t) = 22000(1.071)^{t}$

b) The population increases 7.1% each year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The continuous population growth model is given by:

$P(t) = P_{0}(1+r)^{t}$

In which $P(t)$ is the population after t years, $P_{0}$ is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

In this problem, we have that:

A population grows from its initial levelof 22,000 at a continuous growth rcte of 7.1% per year.

This means that $P_{0} = 22000, r = 0.071$

a) Write a function to model the population increase.

$P(t) = 22000(1 + 0.071)~{t}$

$P(t) = 22000(1.071)^{t}$

b) By what percent does the populaiion increase each year?

$r = 0.071$

So the population increases 7.1% each year.
