Answer:
The correct answer is 2030.
Step-by-step explanation:
To start we must analyze the information we have.
We know that a city has 8000 inhabitants and that each year this number increases by 0.5%. That means that <u>each year it has 40 more inhabitants</u>:
(8000 . 0,5) : 100 = 40
Having this information we could do a cross multiplication:
1 year ------- 40 inhabitants
x years ------- 81200
81200 = 40.x
x = 81200 : 40
x = 2030
In this way we can verify that the correct answer is 2030.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
[1] 3x - 4y = -24
[2] -x - 16y = -52
Graphic Representation of the Equations :
-4y + 3x = -24 -16y - x = -52
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] x = -16y + 52
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] 3•(-16y+52) - 4y = -24
[1] - 52y = -180
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] 52y = 180
[1] y = 45/13
// By now we know this much :
x = -16y+52
y = 45/13
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = -16(45/13)+52 = -44/13
Solution :
{x,y} = {-44/13,45/13}
