So, the population will always be 50 percent of the previous population counted.
4,500×1.50^x=y
4,500 is the population that it starts with, while 1.50 is telling that it is increasing by 50%. X is the number of years.
We are trying to find it in 88 years, so we should replace x with 4. Here is the reason, it doubles every 22 years and we are looking 88 years.
4,500×1.50^4= 22,781.25
There can't be .25 of a person, so the answer would be 22,781.
Please try to follow this closely.
Ready ? OK, here goes:
<em> Add 2.6 to each side of the equation.</em>
What you have so far is perfect. You started with the given statements and then use the definition of midpoint to show that each piece is equal to one another.
From here, use the transitive property
We combine these two statements
into the following
WX = YZ
So we can effectively say WX = XY = YZ meaning the segments WX, XY and YZ are all the same length.
Through similar logic, we can chain together
to get VW = XY
-------------
Consequently this means VW, WX, XY, and YZ are all the same length
Let's call that length m.
m = length of segment VW = length of WX = etc etc
This means,
VY = VW+WX+XY = m+m+m = 3m
and
WZ = WX+XY+YZ = m+m+m = 3m
Both VY and WZ are exactly 3m units long, therefore, VY = WZ
Answer:
<u><em>D. </em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because you find the unit rate for each typist.
Hello!
The last one is no solution because the graphs do not intersect.
