If you have at least as many equations as your have unknown variables, the 'system' is solvable (unless the equations are copies of eachother).
In this case, isolate one letter and plug it in the other. I'm going for the 2a in the bottom one (it doesn't matter)
2a - 4b = 12 => (divide by two and move the b's to the other side)
a = 6 + 2b. (plug this one into the top equation)
4(6+2b) + 6b = 10 => 24+8b+6b = 10 => 24 + 14b = 10 => 14b = -14 => b=-1
a = 6 + -2 = 4.
So a=4 and b=-1.
Given parameters:
Current population = 530,300 people
Growth rate = 0.8% per year
Unknown
Population in 15 more years = ?
To solve this problem, we must compound the increase per year.
This implies that we treat the problem like that of a compound interest.
Since we know that population increases by 0.8%,
it is similar to 1 +
= 1.008 increase
Now the population in 15years will be;
530300 x (1.008)¹⁵ = 597626 people
So, the population after 15yrs is 597626 people

Answer:
The difference between slope and y-intercept, is y-intercept is a specific point. Y-intercept is when the line crosses the y-axis, or when x = 0. Slope is how much the y value changes when the x has changed +1, or -1, if that makes sense.
I was gonna do an example, but I got lazy, hehe.
Answer:
1.) -5/4
2.) 2
3.) 7/3
4.) 4
5.) -6
6.) -1
7.) 5/3
8.) -4
9.) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
this is what i got i hope they are all right
slope formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
