I NEED THE ANSWER ASAP The number of students who smoke cigarettes at Broxton College is decreasing at a rate of one smoker every 6.31 days. At what rate in smokers per year is the number of smokers declining? Assume 365 days in a year and round to the nearest tenth of a smoker per year

57.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion for this, assuming x is the smokers lost in 365 days.

Using the cross products property, we know that x will be equal to:

Hope this helped!

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
