Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Birth Rate in 1994 = 14.6 births per thousand population.
Birth Rate in 2004 = 14.32 births per thousand population.
A linear equation is of the form: y=mx+c
Where:
- x=years after 1994
- y=the birth rate
- m=Yearly Birth Rate
First, we determine the birth rate per year

Therefore, a linear equation that relates y in terms of x is of the form:

When x=0, y=14.6
14.6=-0.028(0)+c
c=14.6
Therefore, the linear equation that relates y in terms of x is:

Answer:
1. 8 is bigger
2. -9 is bigger
3. 12 is bigger
Step-by-step explanation:

each circle is the factor









x = -1 makes the lengths of segments PQ and PR equal zero.
That is not possible, so the solution x = -1 is discarded.
x = 8
PS = 3x + 3 + 21
PS = 3x + 24
PS = 3(8) + 24
PS = 24 + 24
PS = 48
