So...

-2(16-4x)-8=6(x+2)             Multiply
-32+8x-8=6x+12                 Add like terms
-40+8x=6x+12                    Subtract 6x from both sides
-40+2x=12                          Add 40 to both sides
2x=52                                 Divide 2 from both sides
x=26                                   Substitute to check
-2(16-4(26))-8=6((26)+2)   Add and multiply in parenthesis
-2(-88)-8=6(28)                  Multiply
176-8=168                         Subtract
168=168                          

So x=26

I hope this helps! Have a great day!

Suppose the population of a town is 8,200 and is growing 4% each year, what is the population expected to be in 10 years
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

12,138 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation using the basic exponential growth equation:

y = a(1 + r)^t, where a is the initial amount, r is the growth rate as a decimal, and t is the amount of time in years.

Plug in the values we know

y = a(1 + r)^t

y = 8200(1 + 0.04)^10

y = 8200(1.04)^10

= 12,138 people
