The population of linton is 12 times as great as the population of Ellmore the combined population of both towers Is 9,646 people what is the population of linton

Sagot :

let the "population of linton" be represented by the letter L

and the "popluation of ellmore" be represented by the letter E

L = 12E
L + E = 9646
are the two equations we can get from the given information

plugging in L = 12E into the second equation we can get:
12E + E = 9646    [now solve for E]
13E = 9646        [added like terms]
E = 742             [divided 13 from both sides]

then plug this back into the first equation and get:
L = 12*(742) = 8904

Therefore the Population of Linton is 8904 people.
