2) The fish population in a local stream is decreasing at a rate of 3% per year. The population in 2005 was 48,000. What is the population now?

30396 fish.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are in 2020, that is, 15 years have passed since 2005, to calculate the population it would be:

The first year there would be 48,000, then each year it decreases by 3%, that is, the first one was like this:

48000 - 48000 * 0.03

That is to say:

48000 * (1 - 0.03)

Now, depending on the year number it would be:

48000 * (1-0.03) ^ n

But how were 15 years n = 15, then:

48000 * (1-0.03) ^ 15 = 30396.057

The fish population would be 30396 fish.

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

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to separate 54 into 6 individual tiers then you need to divide if you want to separate 54 into 6 individual tiers then you need to divide 6 and 54.

if you divide 9 by 6 you will get 54.
