A) 18x2 = 36
hope I helped
Best of luck :)
This is an exponential equation that can be represented by the following:
f(x) = a(b)^x
In this case...
25143 = a(0.66)^3
25143 is the population after 3 hours.
3 is the amount of time in hours.
0.66 represents the percent of the population remaining after each hour (66% as there is a 34% decline each hour).
We must solve for a, which is the initial population.
First, simplify (0.66)^3 to 0.2874.
25143 = 0.2874a
Now divide both sides by 0.2874 to isolate a.
a = 87455
There were initially 87,455 people within the city. I wouldn't want to be in that place!
Multiply $530.40 by 3/4. You get the equation
If you simplify this, you get the solution of $397.80
$397.80
So we know that:
3(-8 + 4v) = 8v
To find v, first simplify the left hand side:
-24 + 12v = 8v
Then group the "v's" over to the right:
-24 = -4v
-6 = -v
So v = 6
Hope this helped
