Answer:
WX = 33
(x, y) = (2, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The hash marks tell you WX is a midline, so has the measure of the average of the two bases.
WX = (PQ +SR)/2 = (27 +39)/2 = 66/2
WX = 33
__
The hash marks also tell you ...
PW = WS
y +4x = 18 . . . . . . substitute the given expressions
and also
QX = XR
2y +x = 22 . . . . . substitute the given expressions
__
If you solve the first equation for y, you get ...
y = 18 -4x
Substituting that into the second equation gives ...
2(18-4x) +x = 22
36 -7x = 22 . . . . . . . simplify
14 = 7x . . . . . . . . . . . add 7x-22 to both sides
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7
y = 18 -4(2) = 10 . . . find y using the above relation
The values of x and y are 2 and 10, respectively.

My favorite "quick and dirty" way to solve a set of linear equations is using a graphing calculator. It works well for integer solutions.
Answer:
The projected population in 2026 is of 699.3 million.
Step-by-step explanation:
Population:
The population, in x years after 2000, is given by the follwing equation:
That is:
What is projected population in 2026?
2026 - 2000 = 26, so this is y(26).
The projected population in 2026 is of 699.3 million.
Let's divide the shaded region into two areas:
area 1: x = 0 ---> x = 2
ares 2: x = 2 ---> x = 4
In area 1, we need to find the area under g(x) = x and in area 2, we need to find the area between g(x) = x and f(x) = (x - 2)^2. Now let's set up the integrals needed to find the areas.
Area 1:
Area 2:
Therefore, the area of the shaded portion of the graph is
A = A1 + A2 = 5.34
