6x - 2(x + 4) = 12    use distributive property

6x + (-2)(x) + (-2)(4) = 12

6x - 2x - 8 = 12      add 8 to both sides

4x = 20     divide both sides by 4

x = 5

To solve for x, we will begin by using the distributive property

6x - 2(x + 4) = 12

6x - 2x - 8 = 12

(always remember to sort your negatives!)

Add like terms 

4x - 8 = 12

Add 8 to both sides

4x = 20

Divide both sides by 4

x = 5

In 2000, the population of a county was 25,300,987. The population decreased at a rate of 2% each year. What was the population
EastWind [94]

Answer: In 2008 the population was 21,525,144

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the following formula for Exponential decay:

P=P_0(1-r)^t

Where P_0 is the initial population in the year 0, r is the rate of decay and t is the time.

In this case, you can identify that:

P_0=25,300,987\\\\r=2\%\\\\t=8

Therefore, substituting these values into the formula for Exponential decay, you get:

P=P_0(1-r)^t\\\\P=(25,300,987)(1-\frac{2}{100})^8\\\\P=21,525,144

Then, in 2008 the population was 21,525,144

I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me!

let's recall that corresponding angles are equal, thus 105° twins, also let's recall that a flat-line has 180°.

since the two sides stemming from Ɣ are twins, the angles they make at the base are also twins, bearing in mind that a triangle has a sum of all interior angles of 180°.
