Answer:

x=48

Step-by-step explanation:

$5.40(10)+2.50(x)=3.00(10+x)\\\\54.0+2.50x=3.00(10)+3.00(x)\\\\54+2.5x=30.0+3.00x\\\\54+2.5x=30+3x\\\\54+2.5x-2.5x=30+3x-2.5x\\\\54+0=30+(3-2.5)x\\\\54=30+0.5x\\\\54-30=30+0.5x-30\\\\24=0.5x\\\\10(24)=10(0.5x)\\\\240=5x\\\\\frac{1}{5} (240)=\frac{1}{5} (5x)\\\\48=x\\\\x=48$

The population of a city grows exponentially at rate of 8% per year.Find the number of years it takes for the population to be d

Ilya [14]

Answer:

<em>It will take 9 years for the population to double</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Growth </u>

The natural growth of some magnitudes can be modeled by the equation:

$P=P_o(1+r)^t$

Where P is the actual amount of the magnitude, Po is its initial amount, r is the growth rate and t is the time.

The population of a city grows at a rate of r=8% = 0.08 per year. We are required to find when (t) the population will double, or P=2Po.

Substituting in the equation:

$2P_o=P_o(1+0.08)^t$

Simplifying:

$2=(1.08)^t$

Taking logarithms:

$\log 2=\log (1.08)^t$

Applying the exponent property of logs:

$\log 2=t\log (1.08)$

Solving for t:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{\log 2}{\log (1.08)}$

Calculating:

$t\approx 9$

It will take 9 years for the population to double

Explanation:
1).

285$ - 45$ = 240$
240$/10 = 24$

Therefore, he pays 24$ a month.

2).
Let x be the number than triple:

3x - 5 = 19
3x = 19 + 5
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8
