Answer:
-12, -21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the first number. Then the second is x-9. The other relation is ...
4x = 2(x-9) -6
2x = -24 . . . . . subtract 2x, simplify
x = -12
x-9 = -21
The first number is -12; the second number is -21.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1.3x - 10 = 0.8x - 8
Add 10 to both sides.
1.3x = 0.8x + 2
Subtract 0.8x from both sides.
0.5x = 2
Divide by 0.5.
x = 4.
Proof:
1.3x - 10 = 0.8x - 8
1.3(4) - 10 = 0.8(4) - 8
5.2 - 10 = 3.2 - 8
-4.8 = -4.8
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 strokes through XM and MY indicate the segments are congruent, so
YM = MX , that is
8x - 24 = 3x + 1 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
5x - 24 = 1 ( add 24 to both sides )
5x = 25 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Your exponential formula is in the form y = ab^x. In this form, the coefficient 'a' is the initial value, the y-intercept, the value when x=0. The value 'b' is the growth factor, which is 1 more than the growth rate per increment of x. This problem is asking for the growth rate to be expressed as a percentage.
__
Given p(x) = 78500(1.02^x), we can compare to the exponential function form to see that ...
- a = 78,500
- b = 1.02 = 1 +0.02 = 1 +2%
The value of x is zero in the year 2000, so the population that year is ...
p(0) = a = 78,500
The increase per year is the value of 'b' with 1 subtracted:
growth rate = 2% per year
