is 535,841. alaina said the population
of groverdale is greater than the
population of tittlehook. is alaina
correct? construct a math argument
to support your answer.

The statement  ' the population  of Groverdale is greater than the  population of Tittlehook ' by Alaina is CORRECT.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of Groverdale   =  553,000.

The population of Tittlehook    =  535,841.

Now, the difference in the population of  two sates is

= The population of Groverdale    - The population of Tittlehook  

= 553,000  - 535,841

= 17, 159

⇒The population of Groverdale    - The population of Tittlehook    = 17, 159

Now, according to the arithmetic rules:

If there area two given terms say A and B .

Also, A - B = x

Then A > B  if  the difference x  is positive.

and  A  <  B  if  the difference x  is negative.

Here the difference  of the population  = 17, 159  > 0

⇒The population of Groverdale   >  The population of Tittlehook  

Hence, the statement  ' the population  of Groverdale is greater than the population of Tittlehook ' by Alaina is CORRECT.

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
