The answer is 3x-3. You have to distribute the 3 to both of the variables in the equations. The 1 in the parentheses is a negative and multiplying the 3 will result in a negative 3.
<span>52 can be broken down to the following
2*26 =52
2*(2*13) <---13 x 2=26 x 2=52
2*2*13 or 2^2*13 <--BOTH mean the same thing :) </span><span>

Answer:
about 78 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Population
y =ab^t where a is the initial population and b is 1+the percent of increase
t is in years
y = 2000000(1+.04)^t
y = 2000000(1.04)^t
Food
y = a+bt where a is the initial population and b is constant increase
t is in years
b = .5 million = 500000
y = 4000000 +500000t
We need to set these equal and solve for t to determine when food shortage will occur
2000000(1.04)^t= 4000000 +500000t
Using graphing technology, (see attached graph The y axis is in millions of years), where these two lines intersect is the year where food shortages start.
t≈78 years
An hour is 60 minutes so 80-60 = 20 so 1 hour and 20 minutes.
