Answer:
x=14
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem cannot be solved unless we are given figure NPQR is a rhombus.
In that case, then all sides are equal, meaning
5x+16=9x-32
Solve for x
9x-5x=16+32
4x=48
x=12
Each side (including PQ) then equals 5x+16=5*12+16=76
Answer:
21,550
Step-by-step explanation:
An increase of 5% means the population is multiplied by 100% +5% = 1.05. This occurs each year for 12 years, so the multiplier is ...
1.05¹² ≈ 1.7958563
When the initial population is multiplied by this factor, it becomes ...
12,000×1.7958563 ≈ 21,550
