1.) Since we are looking for the variable d, your equation is:
![39.95 + 0.99d = 55.79](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/hv5k1flu3q5r6hyaxwolwl24ha9effb6wo.png)
Subtract 39.95 from both sides, which results in:
0.99d = 55.79 - 39.95
0.99d = 15.84
d =
![(15.84)/(99)](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/ts6jwug2hnmwc3kuyu0oqunlq5ur6ev3av.png)
d = 16
2.) Population of 2003: 12.6 * 10⁶ = 4p
Population of 1950: 10⁶p = p
If the population of 1950 =
* 10⁶
This means that p = 3.15 million.
3.) Given:
Maggie
m = m
Brother:
B = 2m - 3
b + m = 24
2m - 3 + m = 24, which can be rewritten as 2m + m - 3 = 24.
Add the coefficients and add three to both sides:
3m = 27, so m = 9.
Plug in the values:
Maggie: "I'm nine years old!"
Maggie's brother: "I'm three years younger than 9*2! That means I'm fifteen!"
The sum of 15 and 9 is 24.
4.) Given:
The total is 350, which means that x + y = 350
She already has 180, so 180 + y = 350
Y increases by a value of 17 each week, so 180 + 17w = 350
Isolate the variable by subtracting 180 from both sides:
17w = 350 - 180 = 170
w =
, so w is ten more weeks.
Check your work: 180 + 17(10) = 350
180 +170 = 350
5.) Given:
r/17 - 17 = c
r/17 - 17 = 42
Isolate the variable:
r/17 = 42 + 17 = 59
r/17 = 59, so multiply both sides by 17 and r will equal to 1003. Plug in the value:
- 17
59 - 17 = a population of 42
6.) 1(16n) = t
Multiplying something by one changes nothing, so the one cancels out in this equation.
16n = 80
= n
Population of New Mexico is 5.
7.) 3m - 26 = c
3m - 26 = 217
Isolate the variable:
3m = 217 + 26
3m = 243
= m, so Missouri's population is 81.
Hope this was helpful. Good luck.
