An internet service provider had a total of 17,156 customers last year. They gained a net of 1,802 customers this year. They hope to reach at least 35,000 customers in ten years. Estimate the number of customers they need to reach their goal.(1 point)

Question

They need approximately
more customers to reach their goal.

Answer 1

To estimate the number of customers the internet service provider needs to reach their goal, we need to find the difference between their goal and the number of customers they currently have.

The current number of customers = 17,156
The net gain of customers this year = 1,802

Total number of customers after this year = 17,156 + 1,802 = 18,958

The goal number of customers in ten years = 35,000

Number of additional customers needed to reach the goal = 35,000 - 18,958 = 16,042

Therefore, the internet service provider needs approximately 16,042 more customers to reach their goal.

Answer 2

wrong

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake. Let me recalculate.

The current number of customers = 17,156
The net gain of customers this year = 1,802

Total number of customers after this year = 17,156 + 1,802 = 18,958

Number of years to reach the goal = 10
Goal number of customers in ten years = 35,000

Number of additional customers needed to reach the goal = 35,000 - 18,958 = 16,042

Therefore, the internet service provider needs approximately 16,042 more customers to reach their goal.

Answer 5

To solve the equation 4x - 189 = 578, we need to isolate the variable x.

Adding 189 to both sides of the equation, we have:

4x - 189 + 189 = 578 + 189
4x = 767

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we get:

x = 767/4
x = 191.75

Therefore, the estimated value of x is 192.
