Answer:

Approximately the town´s population are 2285 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Lets name the total population of the town as x, so the percentage of the population that is over the age of 65 can be expressed as:

P_{+65}=0.14x

2. As there are 320 residens over the age of 65, means that the fourteen percent of the town´s population is equal to 14%, that is:

320=0.14x

3. Solving for x it can be found the town´s population:

x=\frac{320}{0.14}

x=2285people

In the following diagram \overline{DE} \parallel \overline{FG}
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

<x = 31°

Step-by-step explanation:

m<BCA = m<GCJ (vertical angles)

m<BCA = 59° (substitution)

Since line KL is perpendicular to line FG, the angle formed at point B is 90°.

Therefore, m<ABC = 90°

m<BAC + m<ABC + m<BCA = 180° (sum of triangle)

m<BAC + 90° + 59° = 180° (Substitution)

m<BAC + 149° = 180°

m<BAC = 180° - 149°

m<BAC = 31°

<x = <BAC (vertical angles)

m<x = 31° (substitution)

Apples: $(2x) per pound
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Shopper spend $3 on Apples, $4 on Grapes and $3.5 on Oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one pound of Apple = $2x

Cost of one pound of Grapes = $(6x-5)

Cost of one pound of Oranges = $(x+2)

A shopper purchases one pound each of  apples, grapes, and oranges and spends  $10.50.

It can be written as: 2x+6x-5+x+2=10.50

We need to find how much the shopper spend on each fruit.

First we need to find value of x by solving equation

2x+6x-5+x+2=10.50

Solving:

2x+6x+x+2-5=10.50\\9x-3=10.50\\9x=10.50+3\\9x=13.5\\x=\frac{13.5}{9}\\x=1.5

The value of x is: x=1.5

Now finding cost of one pound each fruit by putting x=1.5

Cost of one pound of Apple = $2x = 2(1.5) = $3

Cost of one pound of Grapes = $(6x-5) = (6(1.5)-5)= $4

Cost of one pound of Oranges = $(x+2)=(1.5+2)=$3.5

So,

Cost of one pound of Apple  = $3

Cost of one pound of Grapes = $4

Cost of one pound of Oranges = $3.5

So, shopper spend $3 on apples, $4 on Grapes and $3.5 on Oranges

Identify the inverse g(x) of the given relation f(x).f(x) = {(8, 3), (4, 1), (0, –1), (–4, –3)}
laiz [17]
F(x) = {(8, 3), (4, 1), (0, -1), (-4, -3)}
f(x) = ¹/₂x - 1

           f(x) = ¹/₂x - 1
              y = ¹/₂x - 1
              x = ¹/₂y - 1
           + 1         + 1
        x + 1 = ¹/₂y
    2(x + 1) = 2(¹/₂y)
2(x) + 2(1) = y
       2x + 2 = y
       2x + 2 = f⁻¹(x)
       2x + 2 = g(x)

g(x) = {(3, 8), (1, 4), (-1, 0), (-3, -4)}
g(x) = 2x + 2
