The population of a city has increased by 36% since it was last measured. if the current population is 51000 , what was the previous population?

So if we have the number after the 36% increase in population, we would want to subtract that 36% from 51000.

36% of 51000 can be found by multiplying 51000 by 0.36 (0.36 is the decimal equivalent of 36%)

51000 x .36 = 18360

So you simply subtract 18360 from 51000, which is 32,640.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
