Answer:

  4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording is ambiguous, as it often is when math expressions are described in English. We assume you intend ...

  \dfrac{3n+8}{n+7}=\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\3(3n+8)=4(n+7)\qquad\text{multiply by $3(n+7)$}\\\\9n+24=4n+28\qquad\text{eliminate parentheses}\\\\5n=4\qquad\text{subtract $4n+24$}\\\\\boxed{n=\dfrac{4}{5}}\qquad\text{divide by 5}

The number is 4/5.

Distribute property to simplify 4(3x+2)
Julli [10]

Here is the equation:

4(3x+2)

Since 4 is next to the parentheses, you have to multiply everything in the parentheses by 4.

First multiply 3x by 4:

3x \times 4 = 12x

Now multiply 2 by 4:

4 \times 2 = 8

Now add them together:

12x+8 = 12x +8

Your answer is <u>12x + 8</u>

Answer:

the answer is 2.4 million

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the rate of change, you first must find the amount that the population grew in the time period:

314-302 = 12

Now you need to calculate the number of years:

2012-2007 = 5

Lastly, divide the amount of change by the number of years:

12/5 = 2.4

The population grew by 2.4 million people per year. Hope this helps! :)
