Answer: There will be 313600 population on beth's 16 birthday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

When Beth was born , the population of her has increased = 850 per year

Let the initial population be x

and let the number of year be n

So, our linear equation becomes,

x+850n

On her 9th birthday,

The population becomes 307,650.

So, it becomes,

x+850\times 9=307650\\\\x+7650=307650\\\\x=307650-7650\\\\x=300000

So, initial population becomes 300000.

Now, on 16th birthday,

x+850n\\\\300000+850\times 16=313600

So, there will be 313600 population on beth's 16 birthday.

Answer:

Equation: x = 850y + 300,000

population on beth's 16th birthday: x= 313, 600

Step-by-step explanation:

If "x" is the population when beth has "y", then

x = 307,650 + 850(y-9)

The population in y years is 307,650 plus the number of years that has pased since she had 9 year: (y-9) multiplied by 850 wich is how much the population increases  in a year.

We can simplify the problem eliminating the parenthesis:

x = 307,650 + 850y - 850*9

x = 850y + 300,000

Thus, for the 16th birthday

y= 16

x = 850(16) + 300,000

x= 313, 600

The cost (c) to hire a dog trainer is varies directly with the amount of time (h) in hours spent training the dog.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Part A) The proportional equation is c=55h

Part B) 8 hours of training

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

Let

c -----> the cost to hire a dog

h ----> the amount of time in hours

The linear equation is equal to

c=kh

Sue spent $660 on 12 hours of obedience training for her dog Muffin

Find the value of k (constant of proportionality)

k=y/x

substitute the values

k=660/12=55

therefore

The linear equation is

c=55h

For c=\$440

Find the value of h

substitute in the equation and solve for h

440=55h

h=440/55=8\ hours
