The answer is the first one.
Knowing that population density is like a rate, people per a given area, you would take the amount of people and divide by the area.
3.11E7/7.69E6 = 4.02 people per km squared.
Also the “E” is another way to write times 10 to a power and I recommend using that notation when plugging it into a calculator.
The answer really depends on what b is. Unless you give me a number for what b equals I can’t solve it.
The answer is b, I hope this is correct
Answer:
b. (1, 3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator or scientific calculator can solve this system of equations for you, or you can use any of the usual methods: elimination, substitution, matrix methods, Cramer's rule.
It can also work well to try the offered choices in the given equations. Sometimes, it can work best to choose an equation other than the first one for this. The last equation here seems a good one for eliminating bad answers:
a: -1 -5(1) +2(-4) = -14 ≠ -18
b: 1 -5(3) +2(-2) = -18 . . . . potential choice
c: 3 -5(8) +2(1) = -35 ≠ -18
d: 2 -5(-3) +2(0) = 17 ≠ -18
This shows choice B as the only viable option. Further checking can be done to make sure that solution works in the other equations:
2(1) +(3) -3(-2) = 11 . . . . choice B works in equation 1
-(1) +2(3) +4(-2) = -3 . . . choice B works in equation 2
