Answer:

$x=-18$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$-x-x+11-2x=83$

Step 1: Combine Like Terms on LHS

$-x-x+11-2x=83\\-2x+11-2x=83\\-4x+11=83$

Step 2: Subtract 11 on both sides

$-4x+11=83\\-4x+11-11=83-11\\-4x=72$

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4 to isolate the x-variable

$-4x=72\\\\\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{72}{-4}\\ \\ x=-18$

Final Answer

$x=-18$

Answer: x = -18

Step-by-step explanation: The first step can be changed but I decided to subtract 11 on both sides so that the x’s are found on one aside and the numbers are found on the other. Then in the second step, I combined like terms, the x’s. Then I divided both sides by -4 to cancel out the -4 next to the x and 72/(-4) is -18.

The following table shows the estimated populations and annual growth rates for four countries in the year 2000. Find the expect

Liula [17]

Answer:

After 25 years the population will be:

Australia: 22271200
China: 1580220878
Mexico: 157380127
Zaire: 112794819

Step-by-step explanation:

Growth rate problem that has a growth rate proportional to the population size can be solved using the equation:

P(t) = P₀eʳᵗ

t is your unit of time. It could be days, or hours, or minutes. It changes depending on each problem. In this problem, t is measured in years because you're jumping from 2000 to 2025. Years just makes the most sense to measure that leap in time.

P(t) is the population at time t. An example in this problem could be P(20) would be the population 20 years after the initial count. or maybe P(12) would be the population 12 years after the initial count. or P(0) would be the initial count of the population.
