The answer to this problem is -5x=8
4.5{4_x}+36=202-2.5{3+28}
you first multiply 4.5 and the numbers in the bracket.
4.5*4=18
4.5*x=4.5x
you will obtain 18-4.5x=202_2.5{3+28}
2.5*3=7.5 2.5*28=70
18_4.5x=202_7.5_70
18_4.5x=124.5_18
-4.5x=106.5
x=23.67
Canton: 7,720 and increases at a rate of 80 people per year.
Holly Spring: 3,200 and increases at rate of 120 people per year.
Let x be the number of years.
Canton = 7,720 + 80x
Holly Spring = 3,200 + 120x
7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
80x - 120x = 3,200 - 7720
-40x = -4520
x = -4520 / -40
x = 113
It would take 113 years before the populations are equal.
7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
7,720 + 80(113) = 3,200 + 120(113)
7,720 + 9,040 = 3,200 + 13,560
16,760 = 16,760
Answer:
9(4y - 7) = 36y
^^multiple the bracket by the number outside the bracket
