I'm only going to complete Part B. The other two are a bit easier and I believe you can do it! :D
Neighborhood A
----------------------------
Year 1: 30 increased by 20% = 6 more homes.
Year 2: 36 increased by 20% = 7.2 more homes ... 7 more homes. You cannot round in these types of problems.
Year 3: 43 increased by 20% = 8.6 ... 8 more homes.
Year 4: 51 increased by 20% = 10.2 ... 10 more homes.
Year 5: 61 increased by 20% = 12.2 ... 12 more homes.
At the end of 5 years Neighborhood A will have 73 homes in total.
Neighborhood B
---------------------------
Year 1: 45 +3 = 48
Year 2: 48 +3 = 51
Year 3: 51 +3 = 54
Year 4: 54 +3 = 57
Year 5: 57 +3= 60 homes
After 5 years Neighborhood B will have 60 homes.
Hope this helped! I will do Part A or Part C later if I have time and you still need assistance.
If there is a 20 square pieces of wood, I can make a rectangle by placing them side by side are by 24, by 12, by 8 and by 6. Thank you for posting your question I hope my answer helps.
The incorrect step in Talia's solution is the step 4 which is "step 4 is incorrect because it shows and incorrect substitution of slope value into the point-slope form". The correct steps are as follow:
step 1: choose a point on the line which is (2,5)
step 2: choose another point on the line which is (1,3)
Step 3: determine the slope which is m = rise / run. The line runs 1 unit and rises 2 units so the slope is m = 2/1
step 4: substitute point on the line (2,5) and the slope of the line such as:
y-y1 = m (x-x1)
y-5 = 2 (x-2)
This is the correct steps.
Think of two ropes next to each other. Draw a picture if it helps. To find how much longer, start with the longer one and subtract the shorter length to get the difference, or “how much longer.”
To subtract fractions they have to be changed to the same denominator. First change 3 2/3 to a complex fraction; multiply the coefficient 3 times the denominator 3, then add the numerator. 3X3=9. 9+2=11 . 11 is now numerator, use same denominator. So you get 11/3. Then change denominator to 9. To do this you have to multiply by what? You would multiply by 3. Do the same to the numerator: 11 X 3=33. The fraction becomes 33/9. Now you can subtract. Now that both have the same denominator, you just subtract the numerators. 33-8=25. So, 33/9-8/9= 25/9
