First, let's add all the x's.
x + x + x + x + x = 5x
5x - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
Now, let's add together all the 1's that are being added (not the 1 that is being subtracted from 5x).
1 + 1 + 1 = 3
5x - 1 + 3
3 - 1 = 2
5x + 2
There's no way you can actually solve this unless you know the value of x; without x's value, this is as simplified as the expression is going to get.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Hello,
Step-by-step explanation:
Q.5(b) The population {(P) in millions} of a country is estimated by the function, P=125e0.035t, t = time measured in years since 1990. (a) what is the population expected to equal in year 2000 (b) determine the expression for the instantaneous rate of change in the population (c) what is the instantaneous rate of change in the population expected to equal in year 2000.

The square root of 15 is irrational.
