Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanion
there is no solution since the x's cancel out
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
For integers a, b and k, we know that a > 12, b < 20 and a < b. If b=7k, what is the value of k ?
Answer: the value of k = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
a > 12
b < 20
a < b
If b = 7k
Now if k = 1 {b = 7k = 7}
b would be equal to 7 but b has to be greater than 20
IT CANT BE
if k = 2 { b = 7k = 14}
b would be equal to 14, a is greater than 12, b has to be less than b; 14 < 20,
a has to be less than than b ( 12 < 14 )
IT IS
if k = 3 {b = 7k = 21}
b would be equal to 21, so b is greater than 20 and a is less than 21
IT CANT BE
Therefore the value of k = 2
Given function : 
We need to identify a " initial amount", b "growth factor", r " rate of growth".
We know, exponential growth formula
, where a is initial amount, b is growth factor. On comparing with given function let us find values of a and b.
⇔ .
We can see a= 1.05 and b = 1.46.
Now, b=1+r.
Therefore, 1+r =1.46.
Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get
1+r-1 =1.46-1
r = 0.46.
On converting 0.46 into percentage, we get
0.46 × 100 = 46.
Therefore, intial amount a = a= 1.05 , growth factor b = 1.46, and the rate of growth r= 46%.
