Someone me quick i only have 20 mintues to answer this and id be so grateful if someone answered there are 30 homes in neighborhood a. each year, the number of homes increases by 20%. just down the road, neighborhood b has 45 homes. each year, 3 new homes are built in neighborhood b.

If neighborhood A has 30 homes and increases by 20% each year, we first need to multiply 30 by 20%, which is 6. Next, add the six new houses to the original 30, which is 36. If neighborhood B has 45 homes, but gets three more, that is 48. After one year, neighborhood B has more homes than neighborhood A. Neighborhood A will have more houses than neighborhood B after 4 years. (Five years if you count the starting year.)
