Answer:

12 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve this through a system of equations.

one number is a third of the other

1/3x = y

added together they equal sixteen

x + y = 16

substitute in for y

1/3x + x = 16

x = 12

put this in the original equation and

y = 4

Answer: 4 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the "another number"

Therefore, "one number" is 1/3x

1/3 x + x = 4/3 x

4/3 x = 16

1/3 x = 4

x = 12

Therefore, the numbers are 4 and 12.

The table shows population data year 2000 118,000 2006 138,000 a. what is the percent of change to 2006 b. Use this percent of c
worty [1.4K]
A) Now look, in the year 2000, the population is 118,000
In the year 2006 is 138,000
To find the percent change |Original Amt - New Amt|                                            --------------------------------       x100
                                                 Original Amt


So for this question you would do 118,00 - 138,000 (ignore the negativesss)

     and you get -20,000 (ignore the negatives) and then you get 20,000


Now, you have to do 20,000 divided by 118,000 x 100


20,000 divided by 118,000 and you get 0.169491525


Now you have to multiply 0.169491525 by 100

0.169491525 x 100 = 16.9491525

Round this and you get a 16.9% change.

b) To predict the population in 2012 you will have to do 138,000 + 16.9%

To calculate this you have to do this:
                                                 138,000 x 0.169 = 23322

Now add 23,322, to 138,000 and you get 161,322.

A) 16.9%

B) 161,322

hope this helped :)

third option

Step-by-step explanation:

We just have to calculate 2x² - 4x - (x² + 6x). 2x² - x² = x² and -4x - 6x = -10x so the answer is x² - 10x.
