Answer:
x = -12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve : -2x - 10 =15
-2x - 10 = 15
-2x = 15 + 10
-2x = 25
x = -25/2
x = -12.5
1. We assume, that the number 92.4 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
<span>2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 92.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 92.4=100%. </span>
<span>4. We know, that x is 150% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=150%. </span>
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 92.4=100%
2) x=150%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
92.4/x=100%/150%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 150% of 92.4
92.4/x=100/150
<span>(92.4/x)*x=(100/150)*x - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>92.4=0.666666666667*x - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (0.666666666667) to get x
<span>92.4/0.666666666667=x </span>
<span>138.6=x </span>
x=138.6
<span>now we have: </span>
<span>150% of 92.4=138.6</span>
Knowing the amount doubles every 30 days, we'll have to find how many times it'lll double in the 210-day time frame:
210 / 30 = 7
It doubles 7 times. If we were to write a rough, not worked on expresion representing that, knowing the starting population was of 20, we would write:
(((((((20 * 2) * 2) * 2) * 2) * 2) * 2) * 2) = 2560 rabbits
Hope it helped,
Happy homework/ study exam!
