Answer:

Bonnie is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Input 5 for the amount of shirts for letter X then follow the steps for a multistep equation:

12(5) - 10 = 50

60 - 10 = 50

50 = 50

x = x or 1

So, Susan, as Bonnie said, can buy 5 shirts.

Identify the 19th term of a geometric sequence where a1 = 14 and a9 = 358.80. Round the common ratio and 19th term to the neares
Molodets [167]
The formula of geometric sequence is expressed in the following manner:
an = a1 * r^(n-1) where r is the ratio and n is an integer.
Substituting, to find r
358.80 = <span>14 * r^(8) 
r is equal to 1.5

hence, 
</span><span>a19 = 14* 1.5^(19-1)

The population of a certain town was 10,000 in the year 2000 the town manager predicted that for the next 20 years the populatio
Bond [772]
The population of the town from 2000 to 2020 is modeled by the equation:

p(t)=10000(1.05)^{t}

Where t is the number of years since 2000.

We have to find the expected population of the town in 2002. The number of years from 2000 to 2002 are 2, so we have to find p(2). Replacing t by 2 in the above equation, we get:

p(2)=10000(1.05)^{2}  \\  \\ &#10;p(2)=11025

So, according to the model, the population of town in 2002 is predicted to be 11,025.
