Vertical angles are equal, so
.. 3x +8 = 5x -20
.. 28 = 2x . . . . . . . . add 20-3x
.. 14 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
Each of the vertical angles is 3*14 +8 = 50°, so the supplementary one is 130°.
.. 5*14 +4y = 130
.. 4y = 60 . . . . . . . . subtract 70
.. y = 15 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
The values of interest are
.. x = 14
.. y = 15
Exponential growth is
F=P(1+r)^t
F=future amount
P=present amount
r=rate
t=time in years
rate=2%=0.02
therefor the equation is
f(x)=23,000(1+0.02)^x
f(x)=23,000(1.02)^x
where x=time in years from 2012
Answer:
The mean is also increased by the constant k.
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that we have the set of N elements
{x₁, x₂, x₃, ..., xₙ}
The mean of this set is:
M = (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + ... + xₙ)/N
Now if we increase each element of our set by a constant K, then our new set is:
{ (x₁ + k), (x₂ + k), ..., (xₙ + k)}
The mean of this set is:
M' = ( (x₁ + k) + (x₂ + k) + ... + (xₙ + k))/N
M' = (x₁ + x₂ + ... + xₙ + N*k)/N
We can rewrite this as:
M' = (x₁ + x₂ + ... + xₙ)/N + (k*N)/N
and (x₁ + x₂ + ... + xₙ)/N was the original mean, then:
M' = M + (k*N)/N
M' = M + k
Then if we increase all the elements by a constant k, the mean is also increased by the same constant k.
You haven't included a picture of the diagram or the statements!
So firstly, multiply both sides by 5/7 (reciprocal of 7/5): 
Next, add both sides by 45 and your answer will be:
