A certain forest covers an area of 2300 km. Suppose that each area decreases by 5.75%. What will be the area after 12 years?

The correct answer is 2043 km².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Starting area,

A = 2300 km²

Rate of decreasing,

r = 5.75%

Time,

t = 12 years

As we know,

⇒

By substituting the values, we get

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
