Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
So if 14% are over 65, and 320 residents are over 65, then we can say that 14% of the town is 320. Then, we can divide by 14 to find 1%, which is 22.857142857 Now we can multiply this by 100 to get 2285.7142857, which is the answer. To double check, you'd just find 14% of 2285.7142857 (multiply by 0.14) which is equal to 320. Because you can't have fractions of people, however, you'd have to round the answer up to 2286 people.
If that is too difficult to understand them hope this is easier
14% of the towns population is 320. Let P denote the towns population.
14/100 * P =320
14P/100 = 320
14P = 32000
divide both sides by 14
P = 2285.71
the towns population is 2286

Answer:
x^2 + 18x + 76 + 5 = 0 + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to determine the constant that is needed to be able to write the expression in the desired form. That constant is the square of half the x-term coefficient: (18/2)^2 = 9^2 = 81.
The constant that is present is 76, which is 5 fewer than the needed constant, so the "first step" is to add 5 to both sides of the equation:
x^2 + 18x + 76 + 5 = 0 + 5
Then the next step would be to write the left side as a square:
(x +9)^2 = 5 . . . . . . . p = -9; q= 5

Answer:
From least to greatest: -2, 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve
2x + 4 =0
2x = -4
x = -2
3x - 2 = 0
3x = 2
x = 2/3
5x + 2y = 6
3x + y = 4....multiply by -2
-------------
5x + 2y = 6
-6x - 2y = -8 (result of multiplying by -2)
-------------add
-x = -2
x = 2
5x + 2y = 6
5(2) + 2y = 6
10 + 2y = 6
2y = 6 - 10
2y = -4
y = -4/2
y = -2 <=== here it is
