The answer is 138 million.

Step 1. Calculate the growth rate.
Step 2. Calculate the population number in 2014.

We will use the formula for exponential growth:
A = P * eⁿˣ
where:
A - the final amount (value)
P - the initial amount (value)
e - the mathematical constant (e ≈ 2.72)
n - the growth rate
x - the time

Step 1:
A = 120 million = 120 000 000
P = 114 million = 114 000 000
n = ?
x = 1997 - 1991 = 6
Therefore:
120 000 000 = 114 000 000 * e ^{n*6} \\ e ^{n*6} =120 000 000 /114000000 \\ e ^{n*6} =1.05 \\
Logarithm both sides of the equation:
ln(e ^{n*6})=ln(1.05) \\ n*6*ln(e) = ln(1.05) \\ 6n=ln(1.05) \\ n = \frac{ln(1.05)}{6} \\ n = \frac{0.05}{6} \\ n = 0.0083

Step 2:
Now when we know the growth rate, it is easy to estimate the population in 2014
A = ?
P = 120 000 000
n = 0.0083
t = 2014 - 1997 = 17
A = 120 000 000 * e ^{0.0083*17}  \\ 
A = 120 000 000 * e^{0.1411}   \\ 
A = 120 000 000 * 1.15 \\ 
A = 138 000 000

Thus, the population will be 138 million in 2014

Nimfa-mama [501]

The difference between the numbers of group A and group B will be 3, 1, 1, 3 and -1, 3, 5, -5. Then there is no meaningful difference between the two groups.

<h3>What is subtraction?</h3>

It simply implies subtracting something from an entity, group, location, etc. Subtracting from a collection or a list of ways is known as subtraction.

A scientist wants to know if there is a meaningful difference between two groups of gels that grow bacteria. He randomly selects five gels from each group, and counts the number of bacteria spots on each gel:

Group A: 9, 12, 13, 14, 17

The difference between the numbers will be given below.

3, 1, 1, 3

Group B: 6, 5, 8, 13, 8

The difference between the numbers will be given below.

-1, 3, 5, -5

There is no meaningful difference between the two groups.

More about the subtraction link is given below.

5(-12x+3)+6(10x+7)=9-x+3x+10​
tia_tia [17]

Answer: x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

5(-12x+3) + 6(10x + 7) = 9 - x + 3x + 10     Distribute on the left side

-60x + 15 + 60x + 42 = 9 + 2x + 10   combine like terms on the left side

   57 = 9 + 2x + 10        Now combine like terms on the right side

57 = 2x + 19        Subtract 19 from both sides

-19           -19

 38 = 2x       Divide both sides by 2

x = 19
