Answer:

$2y + 8y - 20 = 5(y - 2) \\ 10y - 20 = 5y - 10 \\ 5y = 10 \\ y = 2 \\ thank \: you$

Answer:

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2y + 8y - 20 = 5 (y -2)

Combine like terms

10y -20 = 5(y-2)

Divide by 5

10y/5 -20/5 = 5/5(y-2)

2y -4 = y-2

Subtract y from each side

2y-y -4 =-2

y -4 = -2

Add 2 to each side

y-4+4 =-2+4

y =2

A country's population in 1991 was 114 million. In 1997 it was 120 million. Estimate the population in 2014 using exponential gr

Rufina [12.5K]

The answer is 138 million.

Step 1. Calculate the growth rate.
Step 2. Calculate the population number in 2014.

We will use the formula for exponential growth:
A = P * eⁿˣ
where:
A - the final amount (value)
P - the initial amount (value)
e - the mathematical constant (e ≈ 2.72)
n - the growth rate
x - the time

Step 1:
A = 120 million = 120 000 000
P = 114 million = 114 000 000
n = ?
x = 1997 - 1991 = 6
Therefore:
$120 000 000 = 114 000 000 * e ^{n*6} \\ e ^{n*6} =120 000 000 /114000000 \\ e ^{n*6} =1.05 \\$
Logarithm both sides of the equation:
$ln(e ^{n*6})=ln(1.05) \\ n*6*ln(e) = ln(1.05) \\ 6n=ln(1.05) \\ n = \frac{ln(1.05)}{6} \\ n = \frac{0.05}{6} \\ n = 0.0083$

Step 2:
Now when we know the growth rate, it is easy to estimate the population in 2014
A = ?
P = 120 000 000
n = 0.0083
t = 2014 - 1997 = 17
$A = 120 000 000 * e ^{0.0083*17} \\ 
A = 120 000 000 * e^{0.1411} \\ 
A = 120 000 000 * 1.15 \\ 
A = 138 000 000
$
Thus, the population will be 138 million in 2014

A culture of 1.08×1015 bacteria is in petri dish A. A culture of 2.7×1011 bacteria is in petri dish B. How many times greater is

xxTIMURxx [149]

<span>Culture in petri dish A is 1.08 x 10^15 and culture in petri dish B is 2.7 X 10^11. To determine how much greater petri dish A is from petri dish b, you must divide petri dish A by petri dish b. When you divide the two numbers, the answer is 4,000. The number of bacteria in petri dish A is four thousand times greater than the number of bacteria in petri dish B.</span>
