Answer:

In 2003, the population was 59000 and the population has been growing by 1,700 people each year.

A.

The equation will be:

59000+1700x = (population 'x' years after 2003)

For x, you plug in the amount of years after 2003.

Like if it is the year 2003, the population is 59000+1700(0)

= 59000

when it is year 2005, the population is 59000+1700(2)

= 62400

B.

The town's population in 2007 will be :

(2007-2003=4)

59000+1700(4)

Population = 65800

C.

59000+1700x=77700

=> 1700x=18700

x = 11

Means 2003+11=2014

Hence, by year 2014 the population will be 77700.

Instructions: Find the missing length indicated.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

? = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel segments shown divide the sides in the ratio

\frac{6}{4} = \frac{?}{2} ( cross- multiply )

4? = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

? = 3

A math test has a total of 20 problems some problems are worth two points and some are worth three points the whole test is wort
kari74 [83]

Answer:

There were 12 questions worth 3 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = 2 point questions

let y = 3 point questions

What we know:

x + y = 20 (questions)

so to solve for x we tweak our equation:

x = 20 - y

Now we need an equation to explain out question set up:

2x (2 point questions)

3y (2 point questions)

2x + 3y = 52 (52 being our total possible points)

Now we take our x = 20 - y and substitute it into our 2x + 3y = 52 equation.

2(20 - y) + 3y = 52

Next we distribute the 2 through the parenthesis:

40 - 2y + 3y = 52

Now, gather the like terms:

40 + y = 52

Subtract 40 from both sides:

y = 12

Revisit x + y = 20 and sub 12 in for Y:

x + 12 = 20

x = 8

8 2-point questions would be 16 points

12 3-point questions would be 36 points

16 + 36 = 52 (which matches the max value of our test)
