Answer:

x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 ( x - 4 ) = 1/3 ( x + 2)

distribute both sides

1 /2 (x−4)= 1/ 3 (x+2)

( 1 /2 )(x) + ( 1/ 2 )(−4) =( 1 /3 ) (x)+( 1/3 )(2)(Distribute)

1 /2 x+−2= 1 /3 x+ 2 /3

Step 2: Subtract 1/3x from both sides.

1/2x -2 -1/3 x

x= 1 /3 x + 2/3 − 1/ 3 x

1 /6 x−2= 2/ 3

Step 3: Add 2 to both sides.

1 /6 x −2+2= 2/ 3 +2

1 /6 x = 8 /3

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 6.

6*( 1/6 x) =6*( 8 /3 )

x=16

First, apply the distribution property of multiplication.
1/2x - 2 = 1/3x + 2/3
Then, isolate x. To do this, subtract 1/2x on both sides and subtract 2/3 from both sides.
-2 - 2/3 = 1/3x - 1/2x
Make them the same denominator. The left side's denominator is 3 and the right side's denominator is 6.
-6/3 - 2/3 = 2/6x - 3/6x
Subtract.
-8/3 = -1/6x
Multiply both sides by -6 to get rid of the denominator on x.
-8/3 * -6 = -1/6x * -6
48/3 = x
16 = x
Your answer is 16.

Answer:

In 2015 the both populations were the same and from that year the population of millennials surpassed the population of boomers

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left \{ {{10x+13y = 1125} \atop {-2x+7y = 495}} \right.$

x=14

Boomer: 10(14)+13y=1125

140+13y=1125

13y=1125-140

y= 985/13

y= 75.77 (75.77 millions of boomers in 2014)

Millenials: -2(14) +7y = 495

-28 +7y = 495

7y= 495+28

y= 523/7

y=74.71 (74.71 millios on millenials in 2014)

In 2014 the population of boombers were still greater than the population of millennials

The solution of the system of equations will give us the point where the populations were equalized, and from that point the population of boombers will be less than that of the millennials.

Boomers: 10x+13y = 1125

y= (-10x +1125)/13

Millenials: -2x+7y = 495

y= (2x+495)/7

We match both expressions of "y"

(-10x +1125)/13 =(2x+495)/7

cross multiply:

(-10x +1125)*7 =(2x+495)*13

-70x + 7875 = 26x + 6435

we group similar terms:

7875 -6435 = 26x+70x

1440 = 96x

x= 1440/96

x= 15

In 2015 the both populations were the same and from that year the population of millennials surpassed the population of boomers

Hank and Lynn are both paying off car loans. • Hank paid $2,000 upfront when he bought his car, and he pays $200 each month. • L

Naddik [55]

Answer:

the linkage between both the number of months and the amount charged is proportional to both loans from Hank and Lynn.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the number of months and the total cost paid proportionally is shown below:-

Both Hank and Lynn pay off car loans.

When Hank bought his car, he paid $2,000 in advance, and he needs to pay $200 each month.

Thus, forward to x months the total cost paid (C(h)) is

C(h) = 2000 + 200x ... (i)

So, that relationship is proportional, but not proportional directly.

When Lynn purchased her vehicle, she didn't pay any cash immediately front and she needs to pay $275 every month.

So, after x months the total amount paid (C(l)) is

C(l) = 275x ..... (ii)

This is, therefore, a direct proportionality that is also proportional.

Furthermore the linkage between both the number of months and the amount charged is proportional to both loans from Hank and Lynn.
