Answer:
52,500
Step-by-step explanation:
We can convert the word problem into an equation:
1.36x= 71,400
x represents the number of people in the previous population
We divide both sides by 1.36
x=52,500
The previous population was 52,500!
Hope this helps!
First isolate y by adding x to both sides in y-x=3 and getting y=x+3
Step 1: substitute x+3 for y in 3y=x+6 to get 3(x+3)=x+6
Step 2: distribute 3x+9=x+6
Step 3: subtract like terms 2x=-3
Step 4: divide x=-3/2
substitute -3/2 for x in y=x+3 to get
y=-3/2+3
y=3/2
answer: y=3/2 x=-3/2
So you have -13, then a number that's somewhere to the right of -13. imagine a number line: the negative values are on the left side of the zero, the positive values are on the right. if you're moving to the RIGHT of -13, that means that the value will be greater than -13, or in other words, -13 will be less than the new value because you moved right.
to find the number 28 units to the right of -13, you simply need to add these two numbers: -13 + 28. you add them because you're moving 28 units in the POSITIVE direction, aka you're going UP, so you want to add. -13 + 28 = 15.
now read the statements your question gave you. C and D are just straight-up false--a positive number is never less than a negative number. those are out immediately. now, the numbers you're working with are -13 and 15, so you can immediately ignore B as an answer choice, but still: A is correct because it shows the correct inequality. -13 is less than the number 28 units to the right of it, that number being positive 15.
Answer:
D. 3x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find (f-g)(x) you have to subtract each fuction
(f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)
(f-g)(x) = 5x -2 - (2x+1)
(f-g)(x) = 5x -2 -2x -1
(f-g)(x) = 3x -3
