97 is your answer
hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x - 2y = 18
+ (4x - 4y = -36)
=> -6y = -18, y = 3
As we added the equations together, we have eliminated x and found y.
Hence the correct answer is "Add to eliminate x".
Thanks for the free points
Given:
The given equation of line is

To find:
The equation of line that passes through (-5,4) and is parallel to the given line.
Solution:
Slope intercept form of a line is
...(i)
where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.
We have,
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

Slope of given line is
.
Slope of parallel lines are same. So, slope of parallel line is
.
The required line passes through (-5,4) with slope
. So, the equation of line is




Adding 4 on both sides, we get



Therefore, the correct option is a.
Answer:
They'll reach the same population in approximately 113.24 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both population grows at an exponential rate, then their population over the years can be found as:

For the city of Anvil:

For the city of Brinker:

We need to find the value of "t" that satisfies:
![\text{population brinker}(t) = \text{population anvil}(t)\\21000*(1.04)^t = 7000*(1.05)^t\\ln[21000*(1.04)^t] = ln[7000*(1.05)^t]\\ln(21000) + t*ln(1.04) = ln(7000) + t*ln(1.05)\\9.952 + t*0.039 = 8.8536 + t*0.0487\\t*0.0487 - t*0.039 = 9.952 - 8.8536\\t*0.0097 = 1.0984\\t = \frac{1.0984}{0.0097}\\t = 113.24](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7Bpopulation%20brinker%7D%28t%29%20%3D%20%5Ctext%7Bpopulation%20anvil%7D%28t%29%5C%5C21000%2A%281.04%29%5Et%20%3D%207000%2A%281.05%29%5Et%5C%5Cln%5B21000%2A%281.04%29%5Et%5D%20%3D%20ln%5B7000%2A%281.05%29%5Et%5D%5C%5Cln%2821000%29%20%2B%20t%2Aln%281.04%29%20%3D%20ln%287000%29%20%2B%20t%2Aln%281.05%29%5C%5C9.952%20%2B%20t%2A0.039%20%3D%208.8536%20%2B%20t%2A0.0487%5C%5Ct%2A0.0487%20-%20t%2A0.039%20%3D%209.952%20-%208.8536%5C%5Ct%2A0.0097%20%3D%201.0984%5C%5Ct%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1.0984%7D%7B0.0097%7D%5C%5Ct%20%3D%20113.24)
