Answer: 20,532

Step-by-step explanation:

17,400(.02)=348

348(9)=3132

17,400+3132=20,532

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential growth function of the form:

y=ab^x where a is the initial population and b is the growth rate. This could also be written as

y=a(1+r)^x which is a bit more accurate. We'll use that one. r is the percent growth: 2% for us.

Filling in the formula:

y=17400(1+.02)^x and then simplifying:

y=17400(1.02)^x

That's the model for this population. Filling in any number of years for x will give you the population y. Our time is 9 years:

y=17400(1.02)^9

Take care of the exponents first, giving us:

y=17400(1.195092569) and then multiply to get

y = 20,794.6 or 20,794 people (since you can't have 6/10 of a person)

19x+5+16x=180<br> I need help with this I don’t understand
EleoNora [17]

Hello!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

19x+5+16x=180

First, add the x's together:

35x+5=180

Now, subtract 5 from both sides:

35x=180-5

35x=175

Divide both sides by 35 to isolate x:

x=5

Hope you find my answer helpful! Please give the crown if you do! (:
