The numbers are 15 and 105.
Lin thought a two digit number that is 15, if we multiply 15 with 7 , 15 x 7 = 105 that is we get Jen's number.and if we put 0 between the two digits of Lin's number, we also get Jen's number;that is 105.
So if we have the number after the 36% increase in population, we would want to subtract that 36% from 51000.
36% of 51000 can be found by multiplying 51000 by 0.36 (0.36 is the decimal equivalent of 36%)
51000 x .36 = 18360
So you simply subtract 18360 from 51000, which is 32,640.
( 'x' is not 144 .)
The supplement of an angle is (180 - x) .
The problem says that (2/3) of 'x' is equal to (180 - x) .
180 - x = 2/3 x
Multiply each side by 3 :
( Note: 3 x 180 = 540 .)
540 - 3x = 2x
Add 3x to each side:
540 = 5x
Divide each side by 5 :
<u>x = 108°</u> .
