All but -1 <x <1
_____________
Answer:
(8 * x) + 2x = 60
8x + 2x = 60
10x = 60
/10 /10
x = 6
8 is a constant that is being multiplied by an unknown number which we will name x. It is then being added to two times the unknown number(x), so we multiply x by 2, which is 2x. The final product will be 60, so in the equation it'll then equal 60.
We consider "a number" to be a variable that withholds an unknown value, which is x (or any other variable you prefer).
Answer:
The population in 40 years will be 1220.
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of a town grows at a rate proportional to the population present at time t.
This means that:

In which P(t) is the population after t years, P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.
The initial population of 500 increases by 25% in 10 years.
This means that 
We apply this to the equation and find t.




Applying ln to both sides




So

What will be the population in 40 years
This is P(40).


The population in 40 years will be 1220.
