Answer:

150 boys were enrolled in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys enrolled in 2012 be x

Let the number of girls enrolled in 2012 be x + 200

Ratio of boys to girls in 2012 enrollment = 3/7

Now;

3/7 = x/x + 200

7x = 3(x + 200)

7x = 3x + 600

7x - 3x = 600

4x = 600

x = 600/4

x = 150 boys

Hence, 150 boys were enrolled in 2012

If a town with a population of 10,000 doubles every 14 years, what will the population be in 42 years and is it modeled by a lin
madreJ [45]
This is an exponential function.
The starting population is: 10,000 and it doubles every 14 years.
In 42 years ( 42 : 14 = 3 ) the population doubles 3 times.
The equation ( exponential ) is :
y = 10,000 * 2^n
In this case: n = 3
y = 10,000 * 2 ^3 = 10,000 * 8 = 80,000
Answer: In 42 years the population of this town will be 80,000.

Someone help me with this
Alex

Answer:

y=7.5x, y=9.25x, y=6x

Step-by-step explanation:

on the first table we have for 2 tikets $ 15 so the price for one ticket (also known as unit price) is 15/2= $ 7.5

the equation for the price of ticket must be

y= 7.5 x (where y is price you pay for x number of tikets)

on the second table you can pick that you have $37 for 4 tikets so unit price is 37/4= $9.25 per one ticket

y=9.25x

last table $12 for 2 tikets so for one ticket is 12/2=$6

y=6x
