you could use this equation to help you solve it;

x + (x + 42) = 138

the first step is to combine like terms;

2x = 138 -42

2x = 96

X = 96/2

X = 48

we already solved for x now substitute it in the equation I gave you.

48 + (48 + 42) = 138

48 + 90 = 138

hope it helped...if you have any concerns just let me know:)

lora16 [44]

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P = 150 - T where P is passenger cars and T is trucks

10P = 7T ⇔ P = \frac{7T}{10}

Plug in equation 2 into equation 1:

\frac{7T}{10} = 150 - T

Solving for T, we get 500

The population of a school and is increasing at a rate of 2%per year;6yearsPLEASE HElp <br> Thanks
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

It can be modeled with the equation A=P(1.02)^6 but needs a starting population number to finish.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the population in a future year, use the formula:

A = P (1+/-r)^t

where A is the amount, p is the starting population, r is 2% or 0.02, and t is the number of years.

Since the population is increasing it is addition. Substitute r=0.02 and t=6. Without a starting population, we cannot find the population in 6 years.

A = P (1+r)^t\\A=P(1+0.02)^6\\A=P(1.02)^6
