Answer:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

-5 ( x - 1 ) - x + 1 = -18

-5x+5-x+1=-18

6x+6=-18 <- -6 from both sides

6x=-24 <- divide 6 by both sides

x=-4

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x+5-x+1=-18

combine like terms

-6x+6=-18

-6x=-24

divide both sides by -6

x=4

In the year 2000, the United States had a population of about 281.4 million people; by 2010, the population had risen to about 3
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Part 1. 0.9259 % per year

Part 2. P = 281.4e^(0.009 259t); 338.6 million  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

P₀ = 281.4 million

P  = 308.7 million

Part 1. Growth rate

t = 2010 - 2000 = 10 yr

        P = P₀e^(rt)

308.7 = 281.4e^(10r)

e^(10r) = 1.0970

     10r = ln1.0970

        r = (ln1.0970)/10 = (0.092 59)/10 = 0.009 259  

        r = 0.9259 % per year

The 10-year continuous growth rate is 0.9259 % per year.

Part 2. Population model

The population model is

P = 281.4e^(0.009 259t)

where P is in millions and t is the number of years since 2000.

By 2020,

P = 281.4e^(0.009 259 × 20) = 281.4e^0.1852 = 281.4 × 1.203

P = 338.6 million

The estimated population in 2020 is 338.6 million.
