The answer is 5 percent.

If the population doubles every 20 years, that means that it’s increasing by 100% every 20 years. To find the percentage after one year, divide by 20. And you get 5.

What is a31 of the arithmetic sequence for which a5=12.4 and a9=22.4
miv72 [106K]
For the arithmetic sequence
a₁, a₂, a₃, ...,
the n-th term is
a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d
where d =  the common difference

Because a₅ = 12.4,
a₁ + 4d = 12.4           (1)
Because a₉ = 22.4,
a₁ + 8d = 22.4          (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
a₁ + 8d - (a₁ + 4d) = 22.4 - 12.4
4d = 10
d = 2.5
From (1),
a₁ = 12.4 - 4*2.5 = 2.4

Therefore
a₃₁ = 2.4 + 30*2.5 = 77.4

Answer:  a₃₁ = 77.4

The weight of Jacob’s backpack is made up of the weight of the contents of the backpack as well as the weight of the backpack it
Dafna11 [192]
If the backpack (b) contains only textbooks (t) and notebooks (n), the total weight of the backpack is:

b+t+n

but notebooks are 4 pounds, so actually:

b+t+4

also, the backpack weights 2 pounds, so the total weight is:

2+t+4 =t+6
 now, "Seventy percent of <span> the total weight is textbooks. ", this means that


t=70%(t+6) - this equation can be used to determine the weight of the textbooks!

Ramon wants to plant cucumbers and tomatoes in his garden. He has room for
yarga [219]

Answer:

Number of Cucumbers = 12

Number of Tomatoes = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of cucumber be c and number of tomatoes be t

Since he has room for 16 plants, we can write:

c + t = 16

He wants to plant 3 times as many cucumbers as tomatoes. We can write:

c = 3t

We can substitute this in 1st equation and solve for t:

c + t = 16

3t + t = 16

4t = 16

t = 16/4 = 4

And c = 3t

c = 3(4) = 12

Number of Cucumbers = 12

Number of Tomatoes = 4
