Since beth was born, the population of her town has increased at a rate of 850 people per year. on beth 9ths birthday, the total population was nearly 307,650.write and solve a linear equation on beths 16th birthday.

Equation: x = 850y + 300,000

population on beth's 16th birthday: x= 313, 600

Step-by-step explanation:

If "x" is the population when beth has "y", then

x = 307,650 + 850(y-9)

The population in y years is 307,650 plus the number of years that has pased since she had 9 year: (y-9) multiplied by 850 wich is how much the population increases  in a year.

We can simplify the problem eliminating the parenthesis:

x = 307,650 + 850y - 850*9

x = 850y + 300,000

Thus, for the 16th birthday

y= 16

x = 850(16) + 300,000

x= 313, 600

use distributive property on all like terms and change your signs if you have a double negative or if you have positive/negative

it is definatly the 3rd one. very much looks like it, for a good chance, the third one would be best for you.

8(4)^8=72^feet to say that the total can conclude to 8(4) which as you know would mean 8 x 4. that equals 32w. 32^ could make a 72 answer as well. but your coefficent will remain w so your answer is 72w.
