I worked this out, and the answer is B.) 14x+6
Hope it helped! :3
You can see how this works by thinking through what's going on.
In the first year the population declines by 3%. So the population at the end of the first year is the starting population (1200) minus the decline: 1200 minus 3% of 1200. 3% of 1200 is the same as .03 * 1200. So the population at the end of the first year is 1200 - .03 * 1200. That can be written as 1200 * (1 - .03), or 1200 * 0.97
What about the second year? The population starts at 1200 * 0.97. It declines by 3% again. But 3% of what??? The decline is based on the population at the beginning of the year, NOT based no the original population. So the decline in the second year is 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97). And just as in the first year, the population at the end of the second year is the population at the beginning of the second year minus the decline in the second year. So that's 1200 * 0.97 - 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97), which is equal to 1200 * 0.97 (1 - 0.03) = 1200 * 0.97 * 0.97 = 1200 * 0.972.
So there's a pattern. If you worked out the third year, you'd see that the population ends up as 1200 * 0.973, and it would keep going like that.
So the population after x years is 1200 * 0.97x

Answer:
4500
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
360
1080
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the sum of the interior angles of any regular polygon by using this formula
(n - 2) * 180
where n = number of sides
For the square: the square has 4 sides
To find the sum of the interior angles we simply substitute 4 for n in the formula
Formula: (n - 2) * 180
Substitute 4 for n
(4 - 2 ) * 180
Subtract 4-2
2 * 180
Multiply
= 360
The sum of the interior angles of the first polygon is 360
For the second one:
We will repeat this exact process the only difference is the value of "n"
The polygon shown has 8 sides
So to find the sum of the interior angles we simply substitute 8 for n in The formula
Formula (n - 2) * 180
Substitute 8 for n
(8 - 2) * 180
Subtract 8 - 2
6 * 180
Multiply
= 1080
The interior angles of a 8 sided figure will add up to 1080
