Question

Water quality managers estimate that a population of algae initially covered  square miles of water in a nearby river. After a period of time, the algae grew to cover 375% of its original area. Which of the following expressions represents the area of water, in square miles, that the algae covered after this period of time?

  1. 0.375x
  2. 3.75x
  3. 37.5x
  4. 375x

The correct answer is: 3.75x


    Hint : - find initial value and final value of area using the given percentage to get the equation.
    Explanation : -
    Given ,the initial area the algae was spread is x sq. miles
    The final area after time t is 375% of initial area = 375% of x
    375 over 100 space cross times text  x end text
    = 3.75 x
    3.75 x represents the area of water in sq. miles that the algae covered after this time period.

    x over 2 plus 5 equals k x plus 7
    In the given equation, k is a constant. The equation has no solution. What is the value of k?
     

    An inconsistent system is a set of equations for which no solution exists.
    One solution of the system is shown as x = y = z = 0. D must be zero for endless solutions (including non-zero ones). There are thus two possible possibilities for k, but there is only one non-zero answer, e.g.: The value of K can be 2 or 0.5.
