The first time a census was taken in michele corners, the population was 1772. each year after that, the population was about 9% higher than it was the previous year. sketch the graph that represents the situation. let x represent the number of years since the first census was taken. what are the coordinates of the point that contains the ­y-intercept?

We are given

The first time a census was taken in Michele Corners, the population was 1772

so, initial population =1772

so,

Each year after that, the population was about 9% higher than it was the previous year

so, r=9%

now, we can use formula

y is population after x years

x represent the number of years since the first census was taken

so, we get equation as

y-intercept:

so, we can plug x=0 to get y-intercept

...........Answer

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
